Wow, this is the exact experience I had.
Not only were all the issues you mentioned common, but the quality of their libraries(JS in my case) were just horrendous. At one point there was a run time crash in their blob storage library whenever you listed an empty bucket. I tracked the root cause down to one of their devs intentionally casting away type information(`as any` in typescript) and thus not realizing there were more cases than they were handling. This somehow passed code review and testing and was published.
It was absolutely horrendous. We barely moved a millimeter because we were constantly slowed down by their tooling. I wrote a very long issue about this and just got some community representative who assured me who would do <a series of vague, non-committal promises>.
Shortly thereafter we changed to GCP and Firebase and we were at feature parity in no time and moving fast after that.
