I've been going here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences.

Is there a better place?

It doesn't mention SGR 2 (or does it?) ... probably others,

There's not a better place. It's been on my to-do list for a while to go and (1) update these docs and (2) do some version dissection so that I can communicate when a given control sequence became supported.

For now, are there any control sequences related to ESC#3 and ESC#4 (double height text)? Can double height be turned on/off mid-line?

The double-width and double-height styles are known as line attributes, because they apply to the entire line. You can't change them half way through a line.

You can read the DEC VT500 documentation for them here:
