Yeah I've had similar experiences.
After seeing that one of those issues was labeled "SD Card Hell" I ordered a Samsung card to replace the SanDisk one I had been using, and USB storage mode actually works now. (It's incredibly slow, but does seem to work reliably - I just have to make sure that I wait for the OS to finish writing out from cache.)
The new card is exFAT-formatted from the factory which I haven't changed. I don't recall what my original card was formatted as, but I can check later.
Anecdotally my Tangara does seem a little less crashy with this new card too, though I don't have hard data on that and still have had it crash once or twice. Still need to try and catch one of those crashes while plugged in to grab logs.
