Lmao absolutely zero tolerance it seems.... I get it though. I guess it depends on the kind of music you play! I'm very experimental with things and I feel like sometimes it's nice in a surprising way. Call me crazy, but it's what I think.
For me I guess it all boils down to if you can control it or not though you know? if you can purposefully get it to buzz then that's fine but if it's just buzzing everywhere then yeah it's just sloppy. My guitar that was doing it didn't need any set up though I got a closer look at it and everything looked fine and I realized actually the capo I was using was a little bit loose hahaha

No buzz, ever.
I've learned over the years how to make my own nuts and saddles, level and dress frets, adjust necks, and do my own setups. Now my friends bring me their guitars for setups, etc. Same thing happened when I started fixing amps. I should open a shop, but musicians are poor, and there's no money in it. So, I do it for love.  JK but not really.

I don't tolerate any. Fret buzz is not musical and I feel that if you're fretting out, you're losing tone, and tone is important to the notes.

Oh, give me buzz, lots of buzz under starry skies above
Don't fence me in Let me ride through the wide open country that I love Don't fence me in Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever but I ask you please Don't fence me in

And the Rokdog declared "There shall be no fret buzz" and behold...there was none.

I rather enjoy playing when I have a buzz, but not when the guitar has a buzz.

Maybe I've just always had lousy guitars with lousy setups, but I've found the action feel/playability I prefer produces buzz when strumming hard. I almost always play to avoid the buzz, but there are a few songs I play where a bit of buzz does seem to add some depth/dynamic in an agreeable way.

On acoustic, little to none. But I don't play hard, I play mostly fingerstyle and I don't strum with a plectrum on acoustic.
On electric, where I play mostly metal (i.e. hit the strings hard with a thick, stiff plectrum) I don't care as long as it isn't noticeable through the amp.

IMO, you shouldn't be getting fret buzz when fingerpicking, period. When strumming big ol' chords with an aggressive right arm, you might get a little floppy-sloppy from the bass strings, depending on string gauge, especially if you downtune at all. But really, your strings should always ring free and clear the frets.
Get a set-up and/or a fret level, and discuss your technique with whoever adjusts your action.

With the wound strings there is always some on the crown fret buzz. Wish that was not there but it's usually fairly unobtrusive.
As far as other fret buzz I like the guitar action set high enough so that I do not get buzzes on normal levels of aggression. I sometimes like it being available when I want it (playing extra hard for string slap, etc.).
