The bike I had significant issues with the derailleur hanger was a Cannonade CAADX. It had significant issues even when I used the Wheels Manufacturing hanger, which was a 199. Here's a link: https://wheelsmfg.com/derailleur-hanger-199.html

Those both look reasonably stout. It is interesting that the one you had the most problems with is mounted on the outside of the dropout. Inside is a more typical design as it allows the hanger to bend away from the dropout after a side impact to the derailleur.

But that doesn't explain why you've had so many problems.
