I've got a 2019 Subie Outback and the AEB is pretty good. It really only engages in very tight circumstances above a certain speed (and probably only lower than a certain speed) i.e. I'm pretty sure it will let me rear-end something if I'm crawling slowly enough. Prior to enaging AEB, the beeping is very loud with a very short interval.

(I traded in my 2017 Tesla Model S to get the Outback and I've never regretted it.)

2017 Subaru Forester here. The emergency braking on it likely saved the life of the previous owner. The only situation where mine has not met my expectations is when a car ahead of me was making a right turn, and I estimated it as clearing my lane in time but the vision system didn't agree.
