Game in linbo after disconnect in sideboard Bo3
When a player disconnects in the sideboard after a game in Bo3, both players will get a "Waiting for Opponent..." for many minutes after game should have been terminated. Incredibly bad user experience. I should not be affected by my opponent leaving the game after losing round 1.

I agree. You even get this screen after a mid-game crash not related to any player leaving the game.
A few revs back, Ral https://scryfall.com/card/blb/230/ral-crackling-wit would just randomly crash the Mac client when activating an ability.
It was a horrible game design choice to not share active client connectivity on such a grossly course polling interval. Clearly, it was done to increase throughput for a given load allowing more game sessions to be hosted concurrently, but at the cost of this sort of horrid UX.
