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

local brewery made tempeh bacon that was very, very close to what you’re looking for, try smoking some tempeh

“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
