I actually prefer 7-segment displays as a user over high-resolution alternatives. I love the 7-segment displays in my Casio watch, calculator, multimeter, lab PSU and until recently Canon 5D Mark IV (which had a 7-segment-ish display on the top). I switched to Nikon Z8, which unfortunately has a higher-resolution display, which I dislike the look of. It’s all overly smooth sans-serif[1]. I like the jaggedness of 7-segment displays. I’ve also never experienced any of the listed issues with them. Unfortunately, all mirrorless cameras have those high-resolution smooth ones now (if they have the top display at all). The one in Z8 is actually the least bad one I’ve seen.
[1]: On higher resolution I generally prefer serif fonts. In particular, for coding I use Go Mono, which is one of very few serif monospace fonts.
