I’ve had a vastly different experience. Several trips in the last year with 30 minutes+ to drop a bag and a couple closer to an hour. That’s enough to move the needle on when I feel like I can show up to the airport.
Baggage claim is usually pretty quick but even 5-10 minutes sucks after flying.
I’ve also had 2 bags fail to make it with my plane meaning I had to wait 24 hours for a courier to deliver them. It also makes connecting or flight changes much more dicey.
I definitely think I’ve been unlucky recently but the fact that I could be unlucky is why I avoid it as much as possible
