I think this is awesome tool, but somehow using fish shell does most of what I need and rarely I reach for it. This is not a critique of Zoxide, but just the fact that this is not as big of a problem once it was.

I was going to say that. Gratitude to the creators of fish shell. The history-based rank is immediate as you type. Lately I've simply done:

abbr --add c cd

And then the "most used paths" are just present in the history filtered by the prefix I already typed.

huh, I don't seem to have this enabled at all. My cd in fish only shows the current directory choices
