I personally haven't experienced many of those issues. I also don't use their first party client though, just standalone Wireguard, so I can't speak to the quality of that. The only time I've had connection issues really is when they completely decommission a server, since I'm using static configs, I have to manually go in and update the server IP, but that's not really a big issue for me and is fairly rare. My experience has actually been that the servers I tend to use are quite a bit faster than they were in the past, I imagine since they've been making an effort to upgrade everything to 10gbit+.
As for IP blocking, I've also rarely encountered that, when I do it's mostly on e-commerce sites, and in those cases I typically find it's just a single exit IP that's blocked and setting up a rule for that domain to tunnel the traffic to a different server (via their SOCKS5 endpoints) fixes it. I can understand how having to do that might be an annoyance to some people, but again for me it's not really a big deal, just a few occasional minor inconveniences in an otherwise good product.
Edit: I should also say I don't really use any services like Netflix or things like that, it's my understanding that streaming sites like that almost universally block Mullvad since they make no effort to mask that their IPs are from datacenters. Again, not an issue for me, but I definitely could understand if that was a deal breaker for some.
