We found that flakiness of e2e tests is usually caused by using libraries, frameworks and devops tools that were not designed for being integrated in e2e tests. So we try to get rid of them, or at least wrap them with devops magic. This requires a skilled devops team and buy-in from management.
At some point we were also solving the issue by having dedicated human reviews of e2e failures, it's easy to train a junior QA engineer to have most false positives quickly retried.
But we would never give up on e2e.
