Honestly, I gave it my best shot. I had the Pixel 2 XL and loved it. Upgraded to the 5 and it was slow. Upgraded to the 6 Pro and it was buggy and overheated. The Pixel 7 Pro is giving me problems, too. I'm hopeful Google can get it together eventually, but I'm not going to suffer through it until they do.
I feel your pain as I'm in the same boat. I'm hesitant to update to the latest patch as the current (previous?) one that I'm on seems to be working the best minus the camera flaking out or locking up entirely. It was soooo smooth on 13 I truly regret moving to beta.
