I also own a 2XL and really enjoy it. Sadly google will stop supplying updates this fall.

In theory, should be less of an issue with Project Mainline now. Of course, we said the same thing with Project Treble. Though it is starting to feel like the idea of an Android Version Upgrade is becoming less and less meaningful with so much of the OS modular and upgradable with Google Play now.

<---Pixel 2 XL owner who really sees little reason to upgrade.

Anecdote: I have a $250 Xiaomi phone, and it lasts 3 days on average.

The Pixel 2XL does have stereo front facing speakers...

Oh, not mine. Hardware issue then. Only the "bottom" speaker works.
