Since I just updated my own routers to the latest firmware, I can't comment yet on changes in behavior, but things had been pretty stable for me already before. Definitely there hasn't been any bricking during saves, so can't contribute much there.
WRT the keyboard, it's true that working ones are hit or miss, and there's been forum discussion about that. In my case, an old Dell USB wired keyboard didn't work, but a slightly less old Microsoft USB dongle wireless one does work. I haven't tried the Dell one again after updates to see if anything's changed, but based on your comments I'm guessing probably not. Hopefully you can borrow a keyboard from someone to try that does work for you.
As far as saving is concerned, I found that timing made a huge difference. Holding 'shift' and pressing 'enter' indeed isn't reliable, I've had success holding 'shift' and just briefly tapping 'enter' for some reason the momentary tap instead of even a half second press made all the difference, so give that a try.
