I've been running big and active nodes, CLN, LND, you name it, multiples of it. I've always been in touch with the devs when I had problems. In those years, I've had the scariest issues with CLN (db level utxos going missing and shit like that) but the more frequent issues with LND (ram, db size, watchtower stuff).

Saying that one is clearly good and the other one is bad is most certainly generalizing from small sample sizes or anecdotal evidence. It's simply not true.
