Your bad experiences can probably be attributed more to sorry workmanship of the installer(s)than to the wiring method itself.
Nope, have to disagree here. Out of all the cases (50+ and counting) I've dealt with, only two were workmanship issues. One was a poorly made connection, another was overloading due to sloppy phase placement.
Tony IMO you are mistaken, your equipment can not tell the difference between a properly wired two wire circuit and a properly wired multi-wire.
I agree with Bob, the loads wouldn't care how the power is delivered, two wire or MWBC, as a matter of fact the neutral conductor in a MWBC would even be cooler in operation if both circuits are being used (bar any additive harmonics)
