Here (my use case) it is important that the
search is linear along the list from the
beginning as the hit is almost always in the
very early section of the list.

However the below tests seem to indicate no
problems for any of the solutions suggested
so far?

(let ((test-list '(0 1 2 3 4 5)))

  (cl-dolist (e test-list)
    (message "cl-dolist processing: %s" e)
    (when (> e 1) (cl-return e) ))

  (cl-find-if (lambda (e) (and (message "cl-find-if processing: %s" e)
                               (> e 1) ))
              test-list)

  (seq-find   (lambda (e) (and (message "find-seq processing: %s" e)
                               (> e 1) ))
              test-list)
  )
;; cl-dolist processing: 0
;; cl-dolist processing: 1
;; cl-dolist processing: 2
;; cl-find-if processing: 0
;; cl-find-if processing: 1
;; cl-find-if processing: 2
;; find-seq processing: 0
;; find-seq processing: 1
;; find-seq processing: 2
