You’d never buy any product, ever, from anyone, if you avoided products that have someone who posted something faulty online.

I’ve never had missing keys from my GMK sets though I’ve had one which had a damaged cap, which was replaced. If OP (or anyone who experiences this) contacts their vendor they’ll get it fixed.

That wrap is a thing of beauty....

off-topic: It's nice to see SA Night King out in the wild, seeing old sets is like seeing a unicorn for me sometimes. I'm really glad I was able to find one of these before they were lost to time.

All manufacturers mess up. I've been lucky and never had an issue with any keycap, from any manufacturer, but I see this kind of thing with everyone. GMK just have a more critical spotlight on them, and when things like this happen, because they are expensive, and people have waited two years, they make more noise about it, and you are more likely to see it. I'm not excusing them or anything... just saying that there's no more reason to not buy GMK than any other manufacturer's group buy sets, apart from wait times of course, but you have all that to worry about with others as well. GMK aren't unique in the long wait department.

2 Years for production is insane, I would go absolutely insane thinking about when I would get those keycaps which is why i've mostly been buying keycaps 2nd hand. Hope you get them soon!

It sounds like you were searching for something specific, and you found it, but many of us carry on if we find that, because it's our hobby, and we enjoy it, so no, I've not found my end game. I've found boards that from a typing perspective, are perfect, but to just stop with the hobby because of that, is like a model maker, or a writer, or a musician stopping making models. writing or composing because he achieves perfection. It's the doing he enjoys, so he carries on.
