Making sure that Apple didn't further destroy file sharing with Sonoma

Before I update my lab to Sonoma, I want to make sure that Apple hasn't completely destroyed file sharing like the did with Ventura (where even the Apple expert on support had to get further support and I was on the phone with them for 6 hours). Does anyone have any issues with using file sharing and Sonoma? It really still doesn't work well with Ventura.

If you depend on File Sharing and are currently using it, do NOT update to Sonoma. There are Authentication problems (Files App on iPhone & iPad) when using file sharing. Oddly enough, the Guest account that uses no authentication works but you need to set folder permissions to allow all users read and write access.. totally hosed..
