I know this article highlights the problems with 2018+ keywords, but even my 2016 Macbook, which is one of the first with the butterfly mechanisms, has given me plenty of problems: keys sticking, keys not pressing without a tremendous amount of force, double printing characters, etc.

It is frustrating because I love macOS, but having keyboard problems makes me reluctant to get another Macbook in the future.

Have you tried getting it serviced under https://www.apple.com/support/keyboard-service-program-for-m... ?
The article doesn't discuss the earlier butterfly keyboards because those were even worse and are recalled* per the link the other user included

* "we don't call it a recall, we'll just fix it"
