I have the same GX groupset on two bikes - both 12 speed. One is AXS, the other is cable. The AXS shifter never misses. Ever. Can't say that about the cable, which I've adjusted many times. I think it's a great upgrade.

It's also something I can work on, repair, etc. I don't think that's going to be the case with the upcoming setup where the gearing is colocated with the motor, and there's no derailleur. That's going to be a shop (or probably even manufacturer) repair.
