I have some Adox CHS 100 to use. I used Rodinal 1:50 for the first roll and it wasn't bad. But there was a bit more contrast than I was looking for so I thought I might try some D-23 this time. However, I can't seem to find a recipe so I thought I would try to develop in D-23 at 68F for 10 minutes as a starting point.

10 minutes seems a bit much. For D-23, 20% of [edit: added to] D-76 time is generally a good starting point. Worked for me in replenished D-23 for Tri-X, HP5+ and FP4+, but I haven't tried with CHS 100ii.
Low contrast scenes, do constant agitation first 30 seconds + 5 seconds agitation (2 or 3 inversions) every following 30 seconds. Normal contrast, constant agitation 1st minute + 3 to 5 inversions every minute. High contrast, constant agitation first 30 seconds + 2 inversions every following minute. Again, this works for me for Tri-X and HP5+, but I'm not familiar enough with the natural contrast of CHS 100 ii know exactly how it will come out.
That's an excellent combo. I processed 10 rolls (120) and 20 sheets (4x5) today that I shot in Joshua tree.
D-23 1:1 is a perfect match with this beautiful film
