For what it’s worth, any installation of macOS, over time, can and will eventually develop “faults” that can be tricky if not impossible to fix. In my case, numerous updates eventually could not handle my original home folder (/Users/*me*) and so it created a new subfolder containing the active user data. Generally, the older data will be ignored, but being myself, I couldn’t let it go, so I persisted in trying to fix it. Long story short, I started going down this rabbit hole… until I decided to try wiping the entire drive and installing the first beta version of macOS Sequoia, followed by a migration from backup data. The process took a couple of days to do, and I ended up running Sequoia as my primary drive. I consider myself fortunate that 99% of the system seems to work fine. A few (to be expected) incompatibilities persist, but I can live with them just fine.
I consider this event to be more luck than anything else and don’t advise others to follow. But this is to share the fact that Sequoia is the very first beta version of macOS that I consider to be totally useful and have still to find any bug worthy of reporting. I really think that the Mac community will find this version to be the best, and most advanced version of macOS, ever.
Don’t forget that whenever you wipe your startup SSD to install macOS, you must re-enable TRIM. Very important!
