Reliability & performance
MixedMultiple reviewers flag recurring bugs, some of which are discovered late or cannot be resolved on the live platform. One reviewer explicitly described vulnerability to repeated bugs as a meaningful operational concern, warranting a major-negative flag alongside the Mixed rating.
