Have never really had problems with keepassx apart from what you mention:
> copying and pasting with poorly-behaved sites
Do find myself doing this with some sites with different subdomains, there's probably a wildcard setting that I haven't seen. Multiple redirects can also be a problem but that's also handled well.
The only real issue I've ever had is firefox as a snap not being able to use the browser extension due to non-standard file locations. This is entirely a snap problem though.
None of this hassle is caused by password managers though, they behave properly when websites follow basic practices.
I wish mutual TLS authentication took off, even with all the issues of cross-device usage it makes a lot of sense.
