Also no problems here with High Sierra here on two daily-use machines, a MacBook Pro (13", early 2015) and a Mac mini (mid-2011).

Tip 1: Anyone with problems can use Apple Bug Reporter[1]. In my experience Apple really does watch these — I reported an issue with an old USB headset in Sierra and it was fixed in a subsequent release.

Tip 2: HN readers in Apple's developer program can use High Sierra betas to test if an issue still exists, and report that via Apple Bug Reporter or even open a Technical Support Incident (TSI). I think it's likely that Apple prioritizes (1) issues found in developer or public betas[2], and (2) issues coming from people in their developer program.

None of this is to say that anyone should have to do work to get a bug-free OS experience. This is just to suggest actions to take for people who have a bias for that.

Same setup, different story: 2013 15" MBP, nVidia GT 750M, 16 GB RAM. After upgrading I got intermittent mini lock-ups (key presses, clicks, etc. would queue up). Happens in all apps regardless of what I'm doing. It felt like having a dying HDD instead of an SSD.

2010 13", 2013 15", and 2016 13", no problems here

same setup, no problem, I tend to overload it all the time. Dual displays, Several VMs at once, video conversions. Works pretty stable for me.

2015 MBP, no problems either
