Interesting. Did you try comparing it against anything other than a Pixel 2 by any chance (to rule out the Pixel 2 just being worse than better L1 phones)? And have you tried it in the city to see if L5 is any help there?

I have compared it against both the pixel 2 and the pixel 3 xl I previously had. In more urban areas with buildings around it definitely still performs a lot better.

Previously on walks around the neighbourhood gps tracks would just be a general location and bounce around. I can now see pretty regularly which side of the street I was on, street crossings, etc.
