I've only had to touch iwconfig once (on a desktop OS) and it was when my network card wasn't even supported on Windows, so it was still a win for Linux. But yes, if something breaks, no shit you have to pull out the command line - it's the same on Windows, only a lot of the time, you can't actually fix it because they don't give you the necessary tools.

As for suspend/resume scripts, I've never had to do that and I use Arch (yes, hahah, but you know what I mean).

funny you say that, because Arch is what had me learn about those monstrosities (suspend/resume scripts). Granted, it was back around 2011 though so I'm sure things have changed quite a bit since.

Windows has a certification process for most hardware and drivers, things still break but any major or wide breaks are caught quite early. I just have less time to tinker with stuff when random flakiness pops up which happened a lot when I used Arch and Ubuntu.
