I prefer using a past participle different from the past tense whenever possible; so, I am in full support of "gotten". My philosophy aside, I find "I'd got" and comparable sequences using "got" as the past…

Glenn Sogge replied to Sylvia's discussion 'Advice on "gotten"' in the group LINGUAPHILES & SESQUIPEDALIANS

Native German speaker, native capacity in English (with an accent), pretty damn good French, can get by in Italian.
Wish life was less full of yard work and dishwashing. I would add others.
Sylvia replied to Jaume's discussion 'Is this correct English?' in the group LINGUAPHILES & SESQUIPEDALIANS

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… Greetings, Sylvia! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus lately. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.
