I have two virtual (US) numbers - one through Twilio (which I've enable short-code receive support for), and one on Google Voice.
Both have failed to receive 2-factor messages from providers over the years. Very occasionally the Google Voice number is blocked explicitly by the provider as a VOIP number. It's just not a reliable 100% replacement for "real" SMS in my experience.
Google Voice is close to acceptable as a replacement, and it's my primary 2-factor number when it works, but it's not 100% for reasons outside of my control.

I used one of their existing pool of numbers. For inbound short-code support, you have to contact support directly and agree to a legal T&C for them to enable it.
