The answer to this question is a lot more nuanced than most people think, and the definition of "works" depends on your needs/standards/OCD'ness. Most games for years can display in 21:9 without distortion. This wasn't always the case, but even when the first 21:9 monitors first started coming out, a lot of games still worked fine without distortion simply by zoom + cropping.

Fast forward, pretty much all games natively support 21:9, but I've seen a few implementations that actually matter if you care about competitive advantages in gaming (for single player stuff, this doesn't generally matter).
First implementation is when a game takes anything outside of what fits in a 16:9 frame, and simply stretches it to fit 21:9. Things in the center remain undistorted. This works pretty well in FPS's and remains fair because all players using 16:9 or 21:9 see the exact same content, and for 21:9 users, it fills your peripheral to still achieve a good level of immersion.
Second implementation is when the game supports 21:9 by actually showing you the extra content that actually lives outside of the 16:9 frame, which means you see more than a 16:9 user. For FPS's not really too much of an advantage, but for other genres like MOBA's or RTS which move less "twitchy" and with more time to process info, more info is always an advantage.
The third (and worst) implementation, is that some games still actually zoom and crop, which means you see the same width as a 16:9 user, but considerably less vertical content. This used to be a problem when I played WoW or Dota on my first 21:9 back in 2017. On the surface, things LOOKED fine, but the 300 or so vertical pixels you lost were actually a huge problem. WoW was downright unplayable (for me, i had friends who never noticed, not sure how they didnt) because when you lose that much vertical space on a 3rd person format, the in-game distance you have to compensate for it is considerable (ex. You have to be 10 ft away from your enemy vs 20 feet because you literally cant see them because they're getting cropped off the screen).
Nowadays, I see a lot of games doing a combination of the three implantations, namely no2. (extra content) and no3. (crop and zoom). That way things don't look distorted, and they try to mitigate any differences on what people are seeing just because they use different aspect ratios.
Depends on the game and genre.

Quite a few 1 star reviews saying it won't work, or breaks under a year, bad manufacturing, faulty product, etc. It may appear to be a slickdeal - but no matter how cheap it is, the value is $0 if it won't work or breaks down under a year.

Yep. I have an ultrawide (curved) monitor and I can only think of a handful of games that don't work at 21:9. Every major modern game should be able to handle it for sure and many many others as well.

That doesn't make sense though. The vast majority do support it.

I've had mine for almost four years, same experience as you. I did stone age Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 at 3440x1440 in preparation for the release of Baldurs Gate 3. The list of games that won't work is very short to the point IDK any offhand.

34" ultrawide is the deal. This particular one isn't very good.

You can still spend $600 or more easily on 34" ultrawide monitors, especially if it's an OLED.

It feels like everything these days is a luck of the draw. You'd think that if you spent more, the quality and longevity SHOULD be better, but that's not always the case. My $700 Samsung C34F791 ultrawide, became faulty just right after the 3 yr warranty was up, developed vertical bands/lines. Makes me wonder if electronics these days are just built to last a certain amount of time, or just to a high enough standard that most of them get through the warranty period.
