I don't think any of our individual experiences will say much on this topic. It clearly works well enough for some and not for others.

My desktop (custom built) refuses to go to sleep when I'm booted into Linux. Straight up just wakes itself immediately.

Over in Windows land I've had this issue on a regular basis with a Thinkpad that keeps waking itself up. I've had this issue occasionally on a Surface Book 2, I suspect due to a finicky monitor attached to the dock. I've had this issue pretty much never on a first gen Surface Book attached to the same dock. Go figure.

It's probably a device that it's waking the computer up. In my case it was a mouse. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25389048 for a solution.
