As RINO Tom would say, it depends on their motives for being Bourbon Democrats. Was their motive
to help the poor or was it libertarian principles?

I feel like "Bourbon Democrat" had a similar meaning to "neoliberal" today. Both term were used to attack moderates for selling out to Wall Street.

I have often seen a lot of parallels between the Clintons and Cleveland 100 years prior.
Same, with Bryan being Bernie

My PSA that almost everyone in the late 19th/early 20th Century would be a Republican today because they would be so horrified by Democrats' views on social and moral issues and general acceptance of the sexual revolution.

Plenty of people in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had lax views on sexual morality. It just wasn't as medically-technologically possible (especially for women) to put those views into practice as it would become later.
Also, many people are products of their time. I doubt Jefferson would advocate slavery today.

Pro-business conservative DINOs, who would want to bring back Prohibition, basically a bunch of prohibitionist Joe Manchins
Actually, opposition to prohibition was one of the things that distinguished the Bourbon Democrats from the Dixiecrats and the Republicans. The Bourbon Democrats were got most of their support from cities while prohibition was largely driven by rural areas.
