My only recommendation would be switching your virtualization over to Proxmox (LXC / KVM) and setting up an HA cluster with Ceph and MLAG. It's relatively easy and free and will give you a lot more features than plain ESXi and even free vSphere/vCenter.
"Cloudflare is shielding cybercriminals" So? Criminals use many good services, it doesn't make the service bad.
"Scaring internet users into thinking their ISPs are insecure in the middle of a global pandemic" ISPs ARE insecure because of this. The global pandemic has nothing to do with this. Do we get mad at CVEs all of sudden during a pandemic?
"Falsely advertising their VPN application" It can be safer depending on the situation. If you need model closer to zero-trust (still not zero-trust though) use Tor.
I made full switch over to macOS for my workstations (including laptops) as of 2018 and while it has been better, I've slowly watched macOS degrade. Multiple monitor support has gotten worse, displays over thunderbolt 3 have gotten worse, Time Machine is now unusable, wallpapers reset on reboot. Disk Utility while not as bad some previous versions is still bug-laden. There are also plenty of other issues I can't immediately recall.
I switched to macOS because POSIX on Windows at the time was bad and Linux desktop is still a buggy affair. However I might hit a breaking point soon if Apple can't fix things. Linux Desktop is worse, but not by much.
