personally, i trade the bugs for the increased feature set, and all my subs use new modmail already. i just know there are some who don't...
but off the top of my head
- 503 first byte timeout[1] errors loading new modmail when the rest of reddit is working fine according to redditstatus.com. sticks around for a few minutes to a few hours, and a few times longer than that (i think clearing cache resolved it one time)

- messages still appear in the inbox when archived until the page is refreshed
- unread message indicators showing for un-selected subs
- random "oh no! something went wrong on our end! please try again in a few minutes"[2] (sometimes this appears to be because someone else archived it while you were typing, sometimes unrelated. also can be the first harbinger of reddit-wide issues, but those seem to happen multiple times a week...)

- Impossible to reply to modmails via a link posted in slacks or discords. Error message when pressing post 100% of the time.
- Impossible to reply to modmails at all "oh no, something went wrong" that once triggered happen 100% of the time until that modmail instance is closed and a new one opened, sometimes requiring an entire browser relaunch.
- Modmail failing to fully load so it only appears to have one reply in a chain, the last one.
