I got a July 2019 MBP after having suffered from a totally unusable keyboard in a mid-2018 MBP one. In theory the July 2019 model has a 4th generation butterfly keyboard, whereas the 2018 ones were on 3rd gen - and despite using it heavily over the last month, I haven't had problems yet... apart from the backspace & O keys getting briefly sticky (presumably due to some dirt getting underneath). However, unlike on the 2018 one, holding the keyboard upside down and blowing at close range at the keys whilst toggling them managed to rapidly fix the problem.
I also haven't had any double presses yet (which were the plague of the 2018 one - the symptoms were identical to https://www.wsj.com/graphics/apple-still-hasnt-fixed-its-macbook-keyboard-problem/ https://www.wsj.com/graphics/apple-still-hasnt-fixed-its-mac...). So, anecdotally, so far it seems that the 2019 edition is a marked improvement. I'm pretty sure by this point on the 2018 one I was having to go back and fix typos in almost every sentence.
