It's weird how I've worked in Large-scale Enterprise shops for more than the last decade, and ESX since about 4 has required absolutely no break-fix other than patching and whatever the underlying hardware needed. We're talking thousands of VMs, and flawless metro-vmotion of hundreds of hot-and-running streaming VMs at times, and over years. To see what you've written, it could be a very different product from the one I've used, as I've seen none of what you mention.
I hope you can see the same reliability one day, from the product where you've migrated.
My experience as well. Yes there are problems sometimes but across 1k+ hypervisors that's going to happen.
I dont do the admin side of it, but as a user we see frequent outages (had one today :( ). I hope to one day I see the same reliability youve experienced :(
