Okay, check out HBox page in the latest monkey tester 
https://github.com/andy-goryachev-oracle/MonkeyTest

set Children to "1000 text nodes", open Tools -> Css Playground and play with the CSS, for example

`.T1000:nth-child(odd) { -fx-fill-color:red; }`

To me on macOS 15.1.1, the style change looks instantaneous.
