Has anyone actually got playwright to run in CI for non-trivial projects out of the box aka according to the documentation without breaking issues?

also attempted to downgrade to Playwright v1.34.3. Firefox tests now pass in CI, but still running into target closed errors testing in webkit project. Comparing the passing tests in local testing vs the trace of failed tests in CI, the errors seem occur where actions or assertions just stop working and timeout (page is not closed, element is visible, enabled, etc.

https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/23259 seem like this is a known issue that might be resolved with v1.37.0
