This is a full revamp of a bunch of the key guts of the app. We hope that other F-Droid-compatible clients like Classic, Foxy, NeoStore, droid-ify, etc. can benefit from this revamp as well: we've split out this core functionality into libraries. This should fix lots of stability issues. I think it is also important to point out that the official F-Droid client is stable for the core contributors, and that's mostly because a) we are the devs and we fix the bugs we encounter, and b) we report the bugs we can't fix.

I think most F-Droid contributors are using Google-free devices these days, so that's where it works best, especially when built into the ROM like CalyxOS, Lineage-for-microG, etc. Unfortunately, that means we pay less attention to how things run on Google devices. So if you're running F-Droid on a Google device, please be sure to report issues so we are aware of them!
