Jams will happen with almost any brand of nailer, even my Senco will jam. Buy quality nails, they make a world of difference.
i have the cheap 18 gauge nailer from harbor frieght for years which i got it for $5 bucks with a coupon. Never jam on me once but it does leave marks ....

I used this to remodel 3 rooms in our house, tons of baseboards, wainscoting, custom door and window casings, plus 3 hidden bookshelves and two built-in cabinets. I now use it for all my woodworking projects... I've never had it jam once? 🤷 ♂️
Never had a dangerous or significant jam. Occasional misfeed is solved by opening it and replacing the nails.

Maybe a bit of oil helps in this situation? I have a Hitachi/Metabo framing nailer and crown stapler, I only had the framing gun jam once during the entire time I framed my basement. I've had nothing but good luck with this brand so far.
That being said plenty do use brads and they can hold and work depending on the wood, humidity etc. If you shoot longer ones, more than you think and angle them. If your trim is near 3/4' thick use a 2" brad. If you use a 1 1/2" to shoot through the wood and drywall it leaves to little brad to bite and the 2X and trim dries and moves it can fall right off.
It is toss up sometimes as the finish nails leave a larger holes to fill wheil the brad leave very small but if you do what I recommend you will have more to fill.
