Definitely improved somewhere last month. Not bug-free by a long shot, but while I also gave up on it after trying it in February, I'm now using it in favor of Keybase that got bought by some shitcorp.

No idea what problems you have, but I have been using encryption heavily since it got enabled by default.
And I have never had any issue with it - even the transfer of encryption keys in the background to verified 3rd party clients worked like a charm.
But, also this experience may not have been possible before may (when they released a big update with e2ee by default).

So like three weeks.

And in a sibling comment I also confirmed the issues before the new encryption stuff, but no issues after (not with the encryption part at least).
That was a couple months ago. Maybe it has improved massively since then? I guess I'll try it again later this year.
