19: Due to the flat tendency of the system, melody seems to have a melancholy feeling that you can't replicate with 12edo. Unfortunately, this includes the perfect fifth, which I feel is too off, though it may be mitigated by octave stretch. Another issue is that the minor seconds are too wide melodically.

22: The diatonic scale sounds even brighter than in 17, with thirds and sixths having a more obvious septimal flavor. The diatonic semitone is a little smaller than ideal, but still usable. I haven't looked too much into it harmonically. A possibly interesting property is that it supports [[pajara]]. The fifth is not very good though, though a compressed octave may help. For example, [[57ed6]] has the fifth less sharp at 707.5 cents compared to 22edo's 709.1, and sounds ~~significantly~~ more consonant. This also improves intervals like 6/5 and 7/4.

31: Haven't really tried. Seems like a good 5- and 7-limit meantone tuning, with possible 11-limit as well. The fifth sounds just close enough to be usable, but noticeably off. A little octave stretch may help here as well.
