That as anecdotal as me saying it works fine for me. I haven't encountered any of the issues you quoted.

But overall I disagree that abandoning RCS to keep pushing for 3rd party apps is the correct path. How's that been going for the last decade? SMS is the only common platform between all the people I know. If there are issues with RCS they need to fixed.

This. I've been using RCS for nearly 3 years, starting as soon as it was released (even going as far as to trick the messages app into letting me into the pre-release rollout), and have never had any issues with it other than when one of my friends switched over to an iPhone (and in fairness, iMessage has the same issues if you don't deassociate your phone number)
