Having to raise adapt_delta so high is usually a sign of some model misspecification (see Divergent transitions - a primer for a more in depth explanation and suggestions). In your case, with logistic regression a cauchy prior (0,10) on the intercept is definitely too wide tailed, so that’s the first thing I’d consider changing.
