Do you ever have issues with your rocketbook becoming more difficult to write on over time? I've had a couple now and both have gotten less usable over time (even when cleaned the ink doesn't always seem to stick, for whatever reason)

I've found the same issue - and I've discovered it's because of the pen. The pen they give to you by default writes poorly once your notebook has been used up. The clickable one and skinny ones are fine and write like day 1.

I gave up on my rocketbook for this reason. Cleaning the pages with isopropyl alcohol helps, but even it doesn't bring the pages back to how well they worked when new.

Which rocketbook? Wave (microwaveable)?
I think I've used Fusion and Everlast exclusively
