Depends on the developer tbh.

I concur. I usually avoid early access games unless I know the devs' reputation(s), or have already heard good things about it (Project Zomboid, Factorio, Deep Rock Galactic, Subnautica, BattleBit, Lethal Company, and Palworld just to name a few).
But I've also heard horror stories of devs taking the EA money and dumping the game before it's finished. Though I haven't heard anything like that in a while.

Subnautica is an amazing game that I really enjoyed experiencing, but even the full release was buggy. I can't imagine playing a game where atmosphere is so important and then being pulled out of it by bugs.
