Yeah, NM rarely works correctly

"Ah why don't you open a bug", because people are not interested in making it work (like a lot of "modern" Linux stuff)

If it works manually (dhcp, wpa_supplicant, etc), I don't see what's the problem. Or better, I see: NM doesn't work.

Yeah, unfortunately you're right about WiFi chips. It's about making the bare minimum hardware and shoving everything onto the drivers.

NM tries to be too clever. I have no idea what some of the options in the interface mean.
