Wifi 7 is very new and a lot of companies are working through compatibility issues. That's the price of being on the cutting edge. But firmware updates are coming fast. Asus was releasing a new firmware every 2 weeks for this router. They are definitely working hard on it.
This issue was resolved in February.

The CPU spike issue was resolved back in February—agreed. However, in my experience (I own three of these), even after a full factory reset, updating to the latest firmware, and setting everything back up, I still encountered random drops and disconnects. This persisted despite following all the common advice: disabling every bell and whistle, avoiding MLO, and not enabling WiFi 7—which, ironically, is one of the main reasons to buy this router. These issues would typically resurface within 24–48 hours.
That said, a new firmware update was released just a couple of days ago. I'll go through the full reset and setup process again and report back with my results.

Did you enable the "Eco" mode setting? That's supposed to make it rock solid at the expense of some VPN performance.
I also suspect the router shipped with an under spec power supply, so it might be worth trying one that handles slightly more milliamps.
It should be getting third party firmware support at some point, which will probably resolve some issues as well.
