> I found weird issues (when using the recorder) where I couldn't scroll down to the bottom of the screen in Playwright's Chromium, but could in a normal Chrome, forcing me to use other tricks to click the button.

You may consider trying this extension - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/devraven-recorder/.... This extension can record the tests using your Chrome browser instead of launching a separate Playwright chromium browser. Full disclosure: I am the developer of this extension.
