I'm still on my Fairphone 2, but indeed it has a number of issues. Most of those are caused by it being relatively fragile due to being repairable without tools, which I've demoed a bit too often to people. My girlfriend has a Fairphone 3, which is much better in this regard: while the tools-free repairability is a nice gimmic, the 3 requires a standard screwdriver. That's slightly more work, but perfectly fine for something that is used (hopefully) so rarely, and as a result, it's a lot more stable than mine is. Which is to say: sure I'm disappointed, but it's also part of the risk when buying a company's second phone, and the first they designed themselves. When the issues with my 2 become too much, it looks like I'll be getting a Fairphone 4. But first let's see how long I can make this one last.
