The biggest regret here is the smaller surface area because the filter is not pleated. But replacing these filters slightly more often should do the trick. Ideally one wants 5 inch thick pleated filters, but those cost an arm and a leg.
we do use fiberglass filters in all of our HVAC units, but we use the spun fiberglass 2 ply version (has 2 separate layers of spun fiberglass). filters get swapped once a month on the 1st of the month as good habit and practice
home depot used to have trueblue spun fiberglass filters for $1 a pop, they don't carry those trueblues anymore in the regular sizes, they have a different brand and the price has gone up a bit since then they are $1.25-$1.50 now depending on the size
here is what we use:

we also sometimes buy them in large bulk cases from the local HVAC supply store. price is similar to home depot now and quality seems the same.

Home Depot finally ditched those stupid green Flanders nested ones
and started carrying the PamlicoAir full frame 2-ply spun fiberglass filters. they are rock solid and cheap
Stocked until the furance goes I guess!
The design/implementation could also be a factor, as you stated.
It took 3 different techs from a local HVAC to figure that out on ours.

That's an old fixed air handler, it does a strong air shock when turning on.
Since then I was using pleated cheap ~$3 3M filters from Lowe's (never had an issue with these filters folding), but these current ones are even cheaper, although a bit worse since they are not pleated.
I forgot once and on week 5, my pilot light fried trying to light up without an airflow.
The whole change once every 3 months thing they advertise isn't for thin filters like this.
Quite nice (but odd) if you do have a bunch of returns. Are you sure the are returns? Usually it's just the outputs in each room. If you have at least 2 grates, and typically in different locations (ie. floor vs. ceiling)... well, that would be really cool and smart.
I did live in one house, and it was a new build in ... '93 ... where there were a return on each floor and the filters were behind those gratings. They were on the ceiling so required a ladder, but it was really nice to have it set up that way.
If you have several full size filters then it would make sense that you could replace them less often. If you have one 24x24 and (for easy math) 4x 12x12 filters, that's double the area so you could likely replace them 1/2 as often. However, if you've got 4x 12x12 filters, then you really have a 'normal' filter cross-section and should replace them as often (at something like 4x the cost, likely...)
So... the question is what size filter should your unit have? You may be able to find that in the manual, or look at the unit since it likely has a space for a filter even if it's unused.

Our 2.5 ton heat pump (AC) needs 750 - 1000 CFM of supply air in cooling mode, depending on humidity. A 16 x 20 air handler filter is (less than) 2.22 square feet, so air would need to flow through that filter at 350 - 450 feet per minute. That's asking a lot out of a filter, and so instead we have "return grille filters" totaling around 3.9 sq-ft that flow 200-250 fpm. Pleated filters have more surface area than a flat panel, lowering that even more.
