We need tools like https://github.com/cloudflare/pint just to know if my alert description isn’t trying to render a label that’s just not gonna be there, etc PromQL should be blamed on prometheus though, not on grafana.

IMHO in a way the constant churn of Grafana made it easier to live with it. When they break your dashboards every major release you just learn to let go. And by break it’s not just making it error and not work, it’s the constant moving of things around, refactoring the UI, replacing one component with another, all accompanied by a number of glitches every time they rewrite things. You just accept and ignore it eventually. What’s a bigger lock in for me is metrics and promql - you just can’t ever rename a poorly named metric or you face a world of pain. Or when Prometheus releases Native Histograms to replace the old ones, and suddenly everything from rules, alerts, ad-hoc queries and dashboards needs updating.
