Did we ever find out if expansion works faster in large areas of vacuum or did it turn out to be fairly uniform no matter the density of matter?

Still being figured out, recent measurements made the hubble tension worse and we're currently trying to better understand how voids influence the movement of galaxies; one possible result which could be the discovery that the universe isn't inflating at all (unlikely but credible enough to be investigated).
