I’d completely agree - the transition to and instability of esp-hal has been a complete nightmare and I’ve also given up on trying to keep up with this.
I have transitioned to using the Nordic NRF chips (nrf52840) for my hobby projects which are very well supported by embassy-nrf and have been a pleasure to use and have great (and stable) BLE support. You can also get really cheap boards from AliExpress (search for nrf-micro).
