I've got three rifles now with the burris 3-9x40 rimfire scope couldn't be happier with them.
I have a crimson trace 4-12x40 on my tx1 now. Not sure I'm sold on it

Got the SWFA UL mounted and so far it compliments the T1X nicely. Only shot 2 squirrels with it so far. Usable from 2.5-10x although you lose a little clarity at about 9x or so. Still enough clarity to hit a squirrel head even at 10x. Super light, adjusted how it should during zeroing, overall I’m liking it a lot for small game.

Burris XTR2s have been on clearance for a while. I've got one in 4-20. Its a big scope, but it wont be a problem shooting sitting against a tree, balanced on a limb, or off the tripod. Way nicer scope than I have ever had a on 22. its on a T1x in a Element chassis. Parallax goes down to 50.

I’ll be putting one of these on my next rimfire… they seem to be highly rated and suggested in the rimfire hunting community

I run a Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 on my B14r in 22lr for squirrel hunting and practice during fall to spring. Then move it over to my b14r 17hmr for prairie dogs in the summer. I use Nightforce rings and pic rails on all my rifle so switching is easy. Its a strange scope in the sense it cost as much as a 2.5-20 nx8 and needs some updating but they really fill a niche that's there is not much else to choice from.

Athlon 3-12x40 talos with adjustable parallax is perfect for small game. Has enough magnification for longer shots but the adjustable parallax lets you find tune the focus for close shots

This is exactly what I have on my squirrel rifle and it works great for all the reasons you mentioned.

It's not "high end" per say, but I put a Vortex Diamondback 2-7x35 V-Plex Rimfire on my .22 lr. Been super Happy with it. Glass is incredibly clear for the price. The 2x low end is nice for closer shots as well.
