SRAM Force eTap AXS FD chain drop

Sooo.... I'm wondering when I can expect this to start happening on my new bike? Everything I've read on the internet strongly suggests that SRAM eTap AXS front mechs are garbage, guaranteed to drop the chain on every ride. Now it's very early days for me, but it's not happening yet. Front shifting is actually very smooth both up and down. Not even the slightest hint of throwing the chain off in either direction. Am I being lulled into a false sense of security or is it just the usual internet amplification of problems? Or have SRAM sorted out previous issues through hardware or firmware tweaks? So far I'm impressed with it. It's not even noisy like they are supposed to be!
