> Are vertex insertion and deletion also supported/accelerated?

no unfortunately not, since this is currently a fast batch triangulator, so vertex insertion/deletion requires rebuilding

>What compromises are keeping this constrained to 32-bit?

it isn’t SIMD-specific. the circle test involves squared coordinates and further multiplications. therefore, 32-bit coordinates inputs can already require 128-bit temporary results internally. Supporting 64-bit exactly would require roughly 256-bit intermediates and come at the cost of speed and portability, so i think 32bit is currently a good trade-off.
