YES! We tried a big project in the cloud (many many many high end VMs), and Azure was SO unreliable. From BGP configs fuck ups to obscure bugs in their stack.

Their support was also amazing in the beginning.. but after they hooked you up... you're just a ticket in their system. Takes weeks to do fix something you could fix in minutes on-prems or that their black belt would get fixed in a very short amount of time in the beginning of the relationship.

Cloud isn't that magical unicorn!
