the snow must go on
I used delta3200 at 3200 in my former contax iiia rf with the 50mm f/1.5 sonnar. The shutter speeds were from 1/25 up. At 1/50 and above, i got good results. At 1/25, started to have problems of subject motion. The Delta performed reasonably well, although grain is large and the shadows are dark dark dark.
I also used tri-x in 120 format in a TLR, at sh speeds down to 1/8 s (lens 75/3.5). Developed as 400-speed tri-x should be, but underexposed with 1-2 stops. The shadows got a bit lost but i got some good shots nevertheless. I was using a neckstrap, sometimes a tabletop tripod. I attach an example result; there's clear motion blur on the guy's fast moving hand but the rest are fine.
Other option: As we all have seen from the fine examples of merciful and others, Tri-x seems to do well when pushed several stops.
