 I use Green LN and I do not have issues with send and receive.
Keep in mind that the node infra is still in beta phase so maybe liquidity is not well maintained.
I would expect situations like you describe not finding routes.
This wallet is still green (sic). 
 Bro, I can’t even send 1000 sats out of it. What are they using for liquidity, a juice box? 
 LOL I just sent a test of 21000 to another wallet and worked instantly.
Must be something on your side man.
or maybe the destination where you send have some inbound issues. 
 I have regularly the same problems. Add sometimes in miraculously works for some reason... 
 I never experienced problems to receive but most of the payments I send from it fail, don't know why exactly 
 I think is also about the routes is taking in the payment moment.
I sent from Green to :
- Blixt - worked with no issues, various amounts
- Zeus - worked with no issues, various amounts
- Stacker.news - worked, no issues, but only small amounts (tips)
- Alby - worked 100% all the time, various amounts
- Phoenix - worked, but when I sent more than 20k sats it failed 1st intent. 2nd intent worked after few minutes.
- Blink - worked 100% all the time
- some other private nodes, worked with little issues of liquidity.
 
 I tried (amouts of 212121 sats) and you are right Alby and Blink work all the time, but impossible to send to Bitkit for example. But it succeeds to reach my own node for some reason (big channel with ACINQ I maybe)... 

But still is' strange from a pleb node runner point of view, when our own small nodes can send without any problem and an LSP can't lol 
 My experience:

1 payment to my own LND node with lots of liquidity: successful

All subsequent payments of any amount to any other wallet failed. 

These include:

Zeus
Phoenix
Mutiny
Alby
My node again 
 I just tried to send 212121 sats to Mutiny and it worked well.
But it's really often that I'm having problems like you are experiencing to be fair 
 This is an attempt to send 10,000 sats to my Primal address which is built on Strike. Should be no problem to find a route, eh?
