The DCSS community (outside of Reddit, naturally) seems really nice in general.

Did you try to read Tavern? It's full of sjw-ism, and not from players but from devs.

Re CCDA, did they do some major rebalancing?
I tried my usual route of training up tailor until all my gear is reinforced (long underwear/shirt/hoodie), carve a cudgel (combined with fencing) and no encumbrance, and it used to be I could handle a ton of normal zeds without taking a scratch - not so in the last build... Not that they can kill me but I'm getting bites far too often.

I tried posting some suggestions there years ago and got shouted down by like 4 different regulars. They've since added pretty much everything I wanted. Also, apparently the devs ban people from the online servers (which are the only way to play the tournaments and such) if they question any changes they make. Seems pretty cancerous to me.

To be fair, no. I mostly interact with the people on Discord but I've heard...stories... from them.

Which one is worth the money ? ADOM or Sanctuary RPG: Black Edition ?

Wasn't SRPG just a chain of combat encounters with a bit of story/out-of-combat elements thrown in? In case that's not what you're looking for.
It's currently on GOG for like three potatoes, though, so you may as well grab it there.

Older version of ADOM is still available for free, but it hasn't been updated for a while.

And what is your opinion about Tales of Maj'Eyal ?

I have seen once the discussion about new dieties that goes like "game's lore is TOO EUROCENTRIC we need that Aztec/Mexican dieties blah-blah etc".
That was fucking disgusting.

Game plays less like an roguelike where you just auto attack by bumping sprites. The game actually has lot of active skills availble for characters which are necessary for gameplay.
You can pretty much approach it more as RPG with roguelike elements vs an actual roguelike.
Now or the near future is actually one of the best moments to get into Tales of Maj'Eyal as a massive v1.6 beta 1 update came out a few days back after ages of no substantive updates---much should be improved and outright different by the time the v1.6 update is complete in full.
Game itself is good, if eccentric---infamous for a late game slog, but this patch changes several classes and whatnot down to overhauling their very foundations so the old rough edges may yet become moot depending on how things roll out.

Great if you like making builds and trying them out, and with mods you can add party members and turn the elite boss spawn ratio up to eleven to simulate a boss rush mode.

Doesn't it take forever to test if a build is good?

Well, my personal test is whether I can survive either Trollmire's optional boss from the start or one of the first harder dungeons. Past that I tend to do fine until I get careless or encounter some doom stack (which happens because I got careless and was OCD about clearing everything in one go). Then again I rarely feel like getting to later parts of the game (see: getting careless and being OCD about challenging that boss trio you're vulnerable against right here and now). I guess you could use an experience gain tweak mod to rush through the easy-but-boring parts or to try out high level skill combinations (it might take some time to weak that and monster spawns to not make the game too easy or hard).

https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/adventure_party - this one; makes the game much easier if you don't also tweak monster difficulty or talent/experience gain with other mods (though you could use it to see how, say, two very bad builds would fare in a team)
https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/bazaar-fix - this might help if you're using the bazaar mod (IIRC its first map is a maze with a quest NPC, and each reenter to the second area removes the last added party member - which in vanilla would only be that NPC - so you will permanently lose a party member together with whatever they were carrying if that happens)
https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/randboss_rando - this one is for tweaking boss spawns; I'm not sure which one I use for levelup/experience tweaks because at some point I merged multiple addons in a hacky way to fix some compatibility issues and it must've included the levelup one because I don't see any names related to it on my addons list
