The landings are relatively rough, at least compared to something like the Space Shuttle. About 5G and if something goes wrong and Soyuz lands with its failsafe mode (which happened a few times in the past) G forces can exceed 8G.
It’s not very glamourous but compared to the Space Shuttle Shuttle it’s very safe. It has been safely returning humans for decades like clockwork.
