I have seen a few bugs as well, I'm sad to say. Most impactful is that Time Machine no longer works... I don't think there is any step that I have not yet tried, short of meeting personally with the developer of the Time Machine software, an option that I don't think is in the cards.

Have you tried opening a bug at bugreport.apple.com? I've posted there with varying levels of success in the past.

  Glad to get ideas, but yes I have tried this. Multiple bugs actually. And submitted 'sudo tmdiagnose' logs with them. And Genius bar. And phone support, second tier support. And replaced the actual physical device with a brand new one via AppleCare. And then repeated the entire cycle with the new device.

    Oh wow, quite literally everything. My condolences :(

What do you mean that it no longer works? Do you mean it won't find drives, won't back up to existing backups, won't restore? I only ask because I'm still on Sierra and see this list of broken features under High Sierra as troubling. Hopefully they can do a "Snow Leopard" next release - 0 new features, loads of bug fixes.

  It never finishes. At any given time what it says differs, but at the moment the pulldown menu says "Backing up: 2 KB of 115.3 MB" and it's not moving. It will move slowly, make some progress, then the rightmost number will creep up. It never gets ahead of whatever is mysteriously changing data on the disk, I'm guessing. Even when I leave it alone and go on vacation for a week without the laptop, with all apps closed and the laptop left running. Eventually the Time Capsule disk (3TB) fills up, from my 1TB laptop, without ever having finished a backup. It was happening on Sierra for me too.
