I tried this plugin a few years ago. It was neat but ultimately buggy and not ironed out enough to use daily. To people who currently use it, has it improved noticeably?

Yes, it has. I've used it for years as well, and I think I know the bugginess you're referring to. Some time back, it required Neovim 0.5.0 or 0.5.1, and that wasn't yet in the official Neovim homebrew package. This was actually documented on the vscode-neovim homepage, but it was easy to miss.
