What depth sensors are best supported by ROS 2?

I'm generally interested in depth sensors that are supported well by the later versions of ROS 2. We are trying to evaluate the high bandwidth/large data capabilities of ROS 2. Are there any sensors that are known to work well with ROS 2 Dashing or Eloquent?

I have come across the ZED stereo camera but it only supports up to Crystal and the developer claims it is some work to upgrade it. [1]

"Porting the ZED node to Dashing requires a lot of work since it introduced a lot of novelties."

The ifm O3D303 and O3X industrial ToF cameras are supported in ROS2 dashing. I'm the maintainer and happy to help.
