My pick would be Lithuania which is known for work-life balance, and high quality of life.

High quality of life? Are you kidding? Lithuania is quite a depressed place with high suicide, homicide and crime level, also high alcoholism rates.
All three other mentioned nations are way more healthy mentally.
My choice is Moldova, if I have to choose from this list of four.

out of these 4 countries, metropolitan area of Vilnius is the only premium place to live, at Western standards economically and socially, a wealthy area, good jobs, good wages, good quality of life. so, for that, Lithuania. other than capital city area it'd still be better in rural Lithuania than in urban or rural Albania/Moldova/Georgia for many reasons: economically, safety, European Union membership, proximity and access to Europe and even within the country to a highly developed area like Vilnius.
of all 4 Albania is the most no-no for me, due to their image of clan society and interaction of family members with them in Italy for example.
Moldova is no-no because landlocked and bad infrastructure and not in the EU - don't know how their visas function etc.
Georgia - I've seen nice landscapes and all, but looks a bit unstable politically and far from any other place you'd want to go to, plus economically cannot compete with Lithuania yet, otherwise I think it should be similar enough to the Balkans 20 years ago.

Kaunas was the city I most enjoyed visiting in Lithuania. Very picturesque, many Lithuanians even consider it to be their true historical capital. It's a calm, cool country and the most developed of the options, which is why I chose it at the time. And man do I miss the curd snacks they have everywhere in the Baltics, never found them anywhere else. However, today, due to all the instability in the surrounding region, I don't know if I would still choose Lithuania. And for the same reasons Moldova and Georgia. I'd probably go for Albania.

Georgia and Albania are same thing, Moldova is impossible to live i think, Lithuania seems only option if you want a life without mafia running around.

Albania is completely out of the question for obvious reasons. Moldova is a possibility, but not my favorite. Lithuania doesn't excite me much, with its cuisine, climate, and nature all feeling quite 'meh'. Georgia stands out to me because of its great cuisine, with MENA as well as Russian influences, stunning nature, and more.

Climate, topography, sea. Only Albanian meets my criteria. All are too small with shitty neighbours, though.
Nine out of ten concerns are completely unfounded.
