If you're interested in something like Adelie Linux, you might be interested in Chimera Linux. Both are musl libc based and both use Alpine's apk.
* Chimera Linux uses BSD userland while Adelie uses GNU coreutils
* Chimera has the dinit init system / service manager while Adelie uses OpenRC
* Adelie uses gcc as far as I can tell while Chimera uses clang as the default system compiler
* Chimera uses the scudo memory allocator rather than musl's default memory allocator. Scudo is apparently faster than musl's default allocator. Not aware of what Adelie does.
In general, it is not clear to me why Adelie should be preferred over, say, Alpine. The differences don't seem that significant to me to make a switch from Alpine, if you currently use it.
Full disclosure: I use Chimera and I like it. In particular, I like (a) clang/llvm usage as default compiler (b) the lovely and elegant cbuild package build system

P.S. It would be great if they listed Chimera on: https://oldwww.adelielinux.org/about/compare.html
