Anecdotally in my company we have observed a far lower incident and outage rate since we moved to complete Agentic coding.

The extra velocity has meant we move considerably faster than the product team, so a lot of that extra dev capacity has been channeled into improving our tests, verifications and automated review processes - so hardly anything is slipping through the gaps.

This is the opposite of what I expected when we started working this way. One of the concerns we as a team raised was that it would lead to more bugs and lower quality but after 6 months the opposite appears to be true

Have seen that as well. A ton of the extra eng productivity has flowed into better eng practices

Any engineering layoffs? Still hiring? Frozen?

Yes! For me, it has both freed up time to do more testing and verification, and also made those tasks significantly faster.
