Which coolant

In July of 2021 I drained, then filled with distilled water and drained several times before filling with Prestone 10 year/300K coolant. There's some debate about using orange vs green vs yellow vs gold.

Am I ok as is? What should I use on the next round?

I've heard similar, but looking at that picture it shows 5y/150K vs Prestone's 10y/300K claim.

I did use the G05 in my 2000 JD tractor.
