Former jailbreaker here, but still holding strong on a jailbreakable iOS version (14.3).

I stopped using a jailbroken phone mainly because it was getting more and more difficult to circumvent banking app security, and it seemed like every payment-related app wants to include some form of jailbreak detection these days.

This was my experience as well- holding out on old versions of iOS + inevitably breaking normal workflows like banking ended up becoming too much of a pain, went back to a stock setup.

That and the random resprings which were likely the fault of jailbroken content I installed, but often it is too time consuming to debug exactly which tweak was causing the instability

Use the mobile site, the watch if you can, or hide the jailbreak from the app with something like A-bypass.
