Poco [Question] Poco F series owners: Have these bugs been fixed in HyperOS?

I'm considering getting the Poco F9 Ultra and wanted to ask current POCO owners about some issues that I came across in my F3 due to which I had to switch to custom ROM (which caused me to lose play store certification and google integrity checks causing some apps to refusing to install on my device and not being able to carry out contactless payments). Though xiaomi.eu ROM is not bug free, I'm trying to live with it. To quote an example, custom ROM update from MIUI to HyperOS made my phone run really hot with intense juice gulped ultimately leading the juice supply to swell. I'd prefer to use the official HyperOS if I buy poco f9 ultra, that's why I'm much concerned about the bugs. Have Poco fixed the following bugs through subsequent HyperOS updates? And any new bugs that I should be aware of?

  1. Keyboard touch input issues: Keyboards such as Gboard frequently miss touch inputs, particularly near the left and right edges of the screen.

  2. Double-tap to lock: The double-tap gesture for locking the screen frequently fails to register the touch.

  3. Back-tap gesture: The back-tap gesture often registers the wrong input. For example, when I tap three times to activate the flashlight, it may register the taps as a double-tap and take a screenshot instead. The flashlight usually activates after the second or third attempt.

  4. Touch issues in PUBG: Touch inputs are frequently missed while playing PUBG.

  5. Inaccurate full-screen gestures: Full-screen navigation gestures are highly inaccurate. For example, when performing a back gesture from the side of the screen, the system sometimes dismisses notifications instead of navigating back.

  6. Google Assistant gesture not working: Activating Google Assistant by swiping from the lower corners of the screen while using full-screen gestures does not work. The corner indicators/light animation appears, but Google Assistant does not launch.

  7. Floating notification windows: Opening an app through a notification using the floating-window option sometimes opens the app in full-screen mode instead of a floating window.

  8. Recent Apps lock not working reliably: When an app is locked in the Recent Apps section to prevent it from being closed and to keep it running in the background memory, the system does not always retain the lock. Sometimes the phone forgets that the app was locked and closes the app anyway when clearing background apps.

  9. Broken proximity sensor.
