All my mtb brakes are SRAM so I don’t have a personal comparison there. No complaints about them though. I certainly wouldn’t consider changing them out.

Hoses vibrating, adapter bracket slipping, loose headset and associated death vibration are bike build/design issues and certainly not inherent to SRAM HRD.

I've got one road bike on Shimano (105) and one on SRAM (Force) hydros. There isn't a lot of difference in lever feel and modulation. Both are very good and I rode the SRAM brakes on the L'Etape du...

Did you know Ollie has a rim-brake Pinarello as his personal bike? At least he did a couple of years ago.

Just to be clear the reach adjuster is below the lever (2.5 mm hex) and the bite point adjuster is on the top. See video below:-
