I have the same feeling, back in the iPhone 5 and 5S days I used to be able to type very fast with hardly any typos, now I type slower and make more typos. I weigh the same (I even lost some weight I had gained during the COVID era). The two things that have changed are the screen size and the version of iOS.

I have never had autocorrect on. My guess is that iOS is somehow trying to be more clever than me and slightly shifts the keys' hitboxes in a poor attempt to overcompensate for what it thinks is my fingers' clumsiness.

I feel like this happens to me regularly. I thought I was loosing my mind.

Touch used to be highly precise overall. I used to be able to click on very small text in Safari with earlier version of iOS. It's not just the keyboard.
