I've installed SRAM FDs 16 times now and never had any problems, I had two Force D1 models and three Rival models that are known to work better and they're cheap. Mine were all used with chain rings with a 16T difference too. The difference is I've never used a SRAM AXS crank. Draw your own conclusions.
I see the new RED as just another improvement, but I've never had any chain rub issues. Right now, I have 3 bikes with Shimano GRX 46/30 cranks and 10-44 cassettes. I can even use the 46/44.
Those who have many problems aren't the best mechanics.
