Ask HN: Which TLDs are safe and reliable?

Recently, I read a few articles stating that .io TLD is very unreliable (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15663988), not to mention security issues they had. Considering that is there a list of TLDs which can be called safe and also reliable? how to tell if a TLD will be reliable? Does it matter which domain registration service I use? What causes the unreliability?

Recently, there are a lot of options in which TLDs to choose, such as .live, .coffee, etc. It would be great to be able to use them if they are reliable and secure.
