I doubt people are having issues yet, but it’s a given that they will down the line. Apparently the Hall effect joysticks have smaller dead zones too, but I don’t know how much of a difference that makes in the real world.

Same here.

I read these articles as a nice piece of mind for future me to have a solution should I ever need it.

But my steamdeck joysticks haven't been an issue at all so far.

also no issues - so far.
