It is 2. I'd favor 0, but I don't care much.
I also favor 0, less white space noise, the better.

Why does it matter? We just put them in ".dir-locals.el" and be done
with it. They override user's preferences anyway.

I set `org-adapt-indentation' to nil in the file above. It gives more
columns in a line, which I find more comfortable (e.g., text always
starts at the same column).
Another place where we can prevent unnecessary white space.
I have always started PROPERTIES at col 0. With org-indent-mode enabled, it doesn't matter.. looks pretty (PROPERTY drawer in below screenshot actually starts at col 0):
- use example blocks for Org syntax instead of "begin_src org",
I'd prefer "begin_src org". When these manuals are converted to HTML, we can use syntax highlighting to format comments, etc in Org snippets. I think it's good to retain the meta data that that is not an arbitrary block of text, but Org data. Can you please revert to "begin_src org"?
- internal links to headlines always start with a star,
Nice.
- tags, node properties, are not shown with the surrounding columns,
- when to use =...= or ~...~ markup:
- files or extensions use =...=,
- anything that is meant to be written in the Org buffer uses =...=,
- any meaningful token in a programming language uses ~...~.
Sounds good.
