I realize this opinion is very popular but I had the opposite experience. Fingerprint often took multiple tries or outright failed, while face unlock on Pixel 4 XL has been more reliable and plenty fast. Masks are really the only issue and personally I don't need them that often.

It sounds like the Pixel 5 fingerprint scanner might be hit-or-miss. A few people have reported it not reading fingerprints very well, and even for me, occasionally it doesn't work well (but most of the time it does).
