Mac desktop is playable again, Vivi Ornitier not banned yet?!
Good news. After uninstalling Arena and taking 6 weeks off, I re-installed Arena on Mac (macOS Sonoma 14.3 (23D56)) and haven't experienced the same litany of networking, crashes, and dead-queue issues.
Bad news. I'm still getting this (see screenshot) false-queuing (?) error approximately once/hour, though the client immediately continues as if it never happened.
Badder news. Vivi Ornitier still isn't banned despite continued extreme format warping in all legal play.

The "Unable to join queue" error message displays if you click the "Play" button multiple time in quick succession (e.g. standard double-click) — the first works as expected and joins the queue, and the subsequent clicks throw this error.
Obviously the fix here would be to disable the button after the first click, but there are far more severe bugs that have gone unanswered for 4+years (e.g. just try play MTGA in fullscreen mode on macOS...), so don't expect much ;)
