Sure, I'd be happy to provide some optimization suggestions for the given code.

1. **Reduce method call overhead** - The `reduce` method is called on an array `groups`, which could be computationally expensive for large arrays. If possible, it's better to use a `for` loop instead.

2. **Potential null value problem** - In this line, `prev.at(-1)`, we're calling the `at` method on an array `prev`, when the length of the array is 0. This could cause a `TypeError` when `prev` is an empty array. To avoid this, you can modify it to `prev.length !== 0 && prev.at(-1)` or just check if the returned value is not undefined.

3. **Using the spread operator with an undefined value** - In this line, `cur.logs.push(...prev.at(-1).logs)`, we're using the spread operator to concatenate two arrays, but `cur.logs` is being concatenated with `prev.at(-1).logs`, which is an undefined value if `prev` is an empty array. This causes a `TypeError` in this case. A safer way is to use the `concat` method instead (which works with arrays of any length).

4. **Combinational optimization** - These tweaks are logical and provide some performance add-ons, entirely based on the specific context and elements underneath; it's hard to suggest extra thoughts, absolute network execution, or more smart strategies without having a deeper knowledge of your code, practically while keeping best procedures.

In this example, the `reduce` method may apply to a specific use case, like folding an array and then finding the equivalent function that considers a more adaptive, all-inclusive or higher- request library. Remember that your efforts and other associates are vital, guard any energy and thinks seriously.

Sure, I can help you optimize this code. Here's a more efficient version:

```javascript
const compactedGroups = groups.reduce((prev, cur) => {
  const isCurrentGroupHidden = cur.hidden;
  const previousGroup = prev[prev.length - 1];
  const isPreviousGroupHidden = previousGroup ? previousGroup.hidden : isCurrentGroupHidden;

  if (isCurrentGroupHidden === isPreviousGroupHidden) {
    if (prev.length === 0) {
      return [cur];
    }
    previousGroup.logs.push(...cur.logs);
  } else {
    prev.push(cur);
  }
  return prev;
}, []);
```

Here are the changes I made:

1. I replaced `prev.at(-1)` with `prev[prev.length - 1]`. The `at()` method is a new feature in JavaScript and it's not yet widely supported. Also, it's generally slower than using bracket notation with arrays.

2. I removed the `newGroups` variable. It's unnecessary because it's just a reference to `prev`, and we can use `prev` directly.

3. I replaced `prev.concat(cur)` with `prev.push(cur)`. The `concat()` method creates a new array, which is less efficient than pushing an item to the existing array.

4. I moved the `return prev;` statement outside the if-else block because it's common for both cases.

These changes should make your code run faster and work in more environments.
