Is anyone growing Plumcot or Aprium trees?

Plumcots are 50/50 plum and apricot heritage while Apriums are 75% apricot to 25% plum, roughly.
I have a space in my little backyard orchard for 1 more tree and am trying to narrow options.
I’m in zone 9A officially but in a warm microclimate close to the St Johns River. So probably more like 9B.
The last few years have seen about 300 to 350 chill hours in my estimation.
I have several low-chill pluots and a plum already (in addition to lemon, lime, figs, blueberries and an experimental low-chill sweet cherry.)
I’ve already tried apples and pears and ripped them out for lack of productivity and disease issues.
I don’t spray so will be avoiding peaches and nectarines.
Looking for anyone’s experience with plumcots or apriums, preferably in the southeast or at least the east coast.
