Not buying anything Lenovo made ever again. T14 G1 was the worst computer I've ever had the displeasure of using. Extremely spotty USB C connection, throttling to 0.2 Ghz for no reason with no fix, and just terribly slow all around. Shame since I loved the T450s dearly.

I've watched the X1 Carbon line similarly nosedive from great, to decent, to self-immolating. Now I'm really not sure what to try next.

The funny thing is that Thinkpads got their reputation during the period that they were nose diving in quality.

There hasn't been a decent one since the t440 and the only way to get that to a good standard was by modding the hell out of it.

The t61 was the last good one.

Framework is not quite at that quality but it's better than any other laptop made in the last 10 years.

I'm not sure why you'd say that. Framework still hasn't gotten their s0ix standby stuff fixed for all generations.

Used a t480s for 5 years and it was awesome. And now my t14 gen3 is doing pretty fine as well. What are the issues you are running into?
