I wanted to thank you for sharing a considered criticism based on experience, which is refreshing after so many a priori arguments against copilot.
The negative trade-offs you sketch involve review time and cost of bugs. The positives involve faster typing, test generation (tests are a special case where I think boilerplate costs less and has benefits).

I have a better experience with copilot myself, using it for a few years. I don't really let it generate algorithms or bits of data, it's mostly autocomplete, test setup, idiom generation. I find it helps me in the flow. But that's not an argument against your experience.
I have it turned off for text too, incidentally. Usually useless for Q&A as by the time I want to ask a question it's usually a hard one it fails on, though perhaps in some cases it helps me put me on a trail
