- LiveTV (50 Hz) stutters terrible after a few seconds (Kodi internal player)
- LiveTV (50Hz) plays fine with external player - but to switch from one channel to another takes 10 seconds or even more

And it is very annoying, that you have manually set the refresh rate when you switching between different video formats (4k, live tv, 1080p etc.)

So when there would be a real Kodi implementation (for LiveTV and automatic refresh switching as Kodi 17 does for Windows and Raspi) - THEN it would be a daily driver...

Oh dear, another Nail in the Android OS - PVR - Live TV coffin. And this is a Core Kodi feature too.
LibreELEC for example, handles all this (excluding 3D), with ease.

Surely after all this time Automatic Refresh switching works seamlessly ?

yes - both Raspi and Windows machines don't have any problem with automated switching of the refresh rate - the Windows station (HTPC) also no problems after playing 4k videos either.
