Iirc the bugs had to do with linux system details like fs toctou and other things you'd only find out about in production.
Ideally we'd have a better way of navigating platform idiosyncrasies or better system APIs, so that every project doesn't have to relearn them at runtime. But the rewrite isn't pure downside.

I believe trying to make something idiot-proof just generates better idiots, so I prefer having thinner abstractions on the lower level for maintenance, simplicity and performance reasons. The real solution is better documentation, but who values good documentation?
Graybeards and their apprentices, mostly from my experience. I personally still live with reference docs rather than AI prompts, and it serves me well.
