I actually prefer the butterfly keyboard's clickiness – coming from a mechanical keyboard, I always found the chiclet keys a tad too mushy. And the jarringly-short travel, while annoying at first, is easy to adapt to.

The thing that turned me against the butterfly keyboard were the reliability issues. I've had to get replacements for broken keyboards three times: spacebar stopped working, `f` ended up double typing every single time, and capslock (I remap to Ctrl) would 'stick' for a few seconds when pressed.

Same. I love typing on it, and my reliability issues haven't been as bad as yours, but occasionally having 2 'a's come out instead of one is very annoying for a command-line driven workflow.
I'm not for or against the typing feel on my MBP 2019, but wow the reliability issues I've already had on them is troubling.
