I’m a longtime Linux user, starting back in 1998 with an early RedHat release before switching to Slackware, and then basically Kali for work.
Most recently after getting back into Desktop Linux I switched to Alpine, because it met my needs for how I used to use Slackware. I like as minimal as possible a system, with everything clear and laid out not hiding behind tools or obfuscation, with security in mind.
I did try Void once before, but ran into issues getting some package I wanted to work, and Alpine was working better for me so I stuck with it.
I’m still very interested in Void, but I wonder at this point, are there any distinct advantages it has over Alpine?

Honestly, it’s just a matter of package availability for me, especially since void has a glibc option.
I used void for a bit but ultimately switched to arch, but on smaller machines that don’t need anything proprietary or complex I go with Alpine. Void had more packages and glibc though, but that for me made the usecase almost identical to arch so I just stayed with arch.
