10 years ago was the turning point. I remember as late as 2010 -2012 having to use NDISwrapper to install the windows XP wifi drivers because there were no native drivers so you had to run the windows drivers through an emulation layer to get wifi to work. Even within the past 5 years I’ve had to compile my own fixes for realtek chips because the auto installed drivers were not working optimally
Every wireless adapter I’ve used in Linux for the last 10 years has worked flawlessly.

Yes, if it’s on 5 to 10 year old hardware.
I haven’t had any issues with new hardware, either.
