It depends on the dish. Like Chinese pork belly should melt in your mouth, not break your teeth. But on a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, the bacon needs to bring the texture.
3 is the breakfast buffet pile of hours old leathery bacon all stuck together with lukewarm grease. This is not an acceptable bacon. 2 for sandwiches, 4 or 5 for plain eatin

Edit:
I’ve been vegan for 10 years and I still miss 2-3 style bacon. Vegan bacon does a good job if you like Canadian bacon and/or 4-6 on this chart, but nobody has made fatty vegan bacon that’s good around 2-3 cookedness
2-5 are acceptable. Softer bacon is better than crispier bacon and I don’t care who I offend

“Canadian bacon”? Define that for a Canadian. Because we have back bacon, and peameal bacon in Canada, and streaky.
“Bacon” in the states specifically refers to streaky bacon, while “Canadian bacon” refers to back bacon
local brewery made tempeh bacon that was very, very close to what you’re looking for, try smoking some tempeh
