Hi Hans,

I can't speak for the others, but I've seen some negative side effects
in my personal documents:

    https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/764069/270600

Ideally, it would be nice if the primes and superscripts were always
displayed in the order that you typed them, but I'd be okay if the
primes always came _before_ the superscripts instead. Perhaps you could
add a new option

    \setupmathematics[primelocation=before] % default: after

so that users can configure where primes are placed relative to the
superscripts (without necessarily changing the current default)?

Thanks,
