Indeed!

With xmixahx's 5.8.x I had it disappear only occasionally after deep sleep, but with 5.10.0-7 of Debian it can sometimes disappear in the middle of my typing up a message in IM.
Very good experience overall. Regarding WiFi, it has been very stable for me, though a bit slow (the Pinebook Pro has 1 stream only; even my phone has 2).
I have read on the Pine64 wiki that 2.4GHz WiFi may be unstable. I have mostly, but not exclusively, used 5GHz networks. (FWIW, I used iwd to configure the WiFi adapter.)
The remaining pain point is audio input. The builtin microphone seems very poor, but I also had poor sound quality with a usb mic that worked fine on another computer. I'm still experimenting and it may be only a software misconfiguration.

Somebody on these forums even referred to the USB-C spec not guaranteeing 100% reversible connection. Which seems to me to defeat the purpose, but oh well. I haven't spent enough time reading the spec to tell whether it is an issue with the hardware spec or if it is a software (driver) issue.
Thanks for these informations!
