You can usually still pass safetynet with latest magisk, even on custom Roms. Go check the xda forums and you might find that.

It's unreliable by definition. You're better off keeping a device around with the stock OS on it, that you only use for SafetyNet-required stuff.

I know there are means to defeat safetynet but honestly I was glad not to tweak my phones anymore and happy without a rooted firmware.

I remember the times of endless tweaking and patching after some Google Play services update a few years ago.
