When bugs are hitting fundamental flight model issues like "lateral thrusters working" and "individual weapon types functioning in trailing sights mode" and not getting fixed there's big problems afoot.
Can we please get some major gameplay bugs fixed?

Just flat out ignored. Major issues.... they don't seem to care a bit.
Voted on the Thruster bug; even though, might be the eternal optimist in me, I think they might have worked that one since U14. I seem to have less erratic events with auto-launch the last 2 days, i.e., it seems to behave more like XBSX EDH 3.8 auto-launch now - smoother approach with no crazy maneuvers after meeting another ship coming through the slot, which is when I think the thrusters get used the most.In case anyone would like to add their votes:
https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/44533 - Thruster bug
https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/50436 - Pulse wave scanner
https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/42913 - Disappearing VR shadows
https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/51167 - Scatter cell fade-in value resetting
…and a bonus one that annoys me in VR - the old view glitch bug that occurs when jumping to SuperCruise came back to us in June last year. FDev fixed it quicker last time!

What I am afraid of is the "fix" is to make the thrusters operate at 200% for the docking computer, but root cause is still broken, so Band-Aid on one thing, but issue is still there for everything else, high gravity worlds, AX, PVP combat, etc.
The issue of FDev indifference to bugs/QoL has been a long standing one. I honestly don't know why the community has to beg the devs to fix obvious, game-impacting bugs, bugs that are often confirmed by FDev themselves. It was only after widespread discontent that we finally got the much-needed "Beyond" series of polish/bug fixing content back during the Horizons days. Not surprisingly, that was also probably one of the best moments for FDev/community relations. You would think that FDev would be eager to do a Beyond 2, so to speak, to repair the damage that the botched Odyssey launched caused. But here we are, over 18-months post release, and we are still suffering from Odyssey issues such as:
1) Broken anti-aliasing
2) A disconnect between Odyssey and Horizons content
3) Mission items not spawning
4) Station administration messages being cut-off mid-sentence due to a formatting issue
5) Framerate issues at ground CZs
...in addition to the issues mentioned by the OP, as well as lots of other issues mentioned by countless others.
I am happy to see the new content brought with U14, but I am also sorely disappointed that the bug fixing/QoL that came with it was the usual FDev bare minimum. Blood and martyrs, what will it take to get FDev to just focus on polishing the very rough shape that Odyssey remains in?! How I wish they would take a pause on new content and just dedicate an update to QoL! Most other devs are happy to do that as it takes less effort than working on entirely new content. Frontier modus operandi has always been the opposite for some inexplicable and terribly frustrating reason. EDO is just a sloppy, sloppy title that often still resembles a beta rather than a game that has been released for over a year and half now.
Presentation counts.

My cutter faceplants the front wall of stations now, bashing it's own shield off as it tries to find the exit slot using thrusters that don't have the power the autopilot thinks they have 
That is very poor. The whole point of the autopilot is to safely dock and undock without human intervention - and it doesn't. Feature is straight up broken at this point. Have actually disabled automatic launch because if I try to afk it, it might well blow itself up.

What is behind the second issue?
Since the mining update that added seismic charges and the like, dumbfire-type weapons have their reticles locked in the centre of the screen regardless of sighting mode or hardpoint placement.
If you mine with a clipper you'll notice how egregiously the crosshairs are off the mark and you'll have to manually correct.
If you use trailing sights mode (which, instead of showing a lead marker that you have to chase with your crosshairs, adjusts the crosshairs to show where you'll land relative to the target) they're also locked in the centre, which renders them entirely useless.
Trailing sights are particularly helpful with non-hitscan weapons in AX combat due to the difficulty of landing a scan on an already-aggro'd interceptor - as you can't subtarget hearts without a scan, and the indicator for leading sights mode points at the centre of mass, trailing sights mode allows you to line your sights up on a specific part of the target without splitting your focus.
I believe this is the current dumbfire issue report:

Only 2 confirmations so far which is a shame for such an old bug - the report is from August but it was first reported just over 3 years ago.

Frontier fixes bugs by listing them as features.
Those little annoying UI bugs since 2.4 will never get fixed as this point.
You all know the one with exclamation point marker on message panel that doesn't go away...
Or cargohold info not updating in trading runs until the next station..
Or module power priority bars on the bottom of the panel being wrong length..

Like so many other services nowadays, Elite is now doing a look back at 2022, reminding you of all your favorite bugs of the year.
Was it gone at any point?
I have a new ISP - hurray, fast internet! And yet I still don't have the will to download 4.0. Why? Because of threads like these and many others. I'm not blaming the authors of the threads, as they say, "Don't shoot the messenger." I just have a low tolerance for sloppy, bug-ridden software. Sure, all software has bugs, but Elite Dangerous wins the "Buggiest Software" award in my personal collection, and I'm just not in the mood to deal with half the nonsense detailed in this and similar threads.
So I'll keep enjoying this war as a spectator (and I am indeed enjoying it).

Good effort and list. I would add the Conrast/Gamma bug to this list as well, as it has been in Odyssey since release and it's still not fixed. The multiple reports about this expired. Here's one I created https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/39850
I've seen many people complaining about this.

I was trying to type in the Chat window the other night and trying to directly communicate with a CMDR, kept getting locked into the panel, only pressing 1,3 or 4 on the keyboard to look away got me out of it.
I wasn’t planning to announce to the whole system my greeting and comms with the player.

A new bug that I just noticed today upon starting up my game.
Every module I had on my fleet carrier that was in a suspended state, has been removed from the FC. I installed everything on it, and even came back to the bubble to add more when others were added, and now the secure warehouse and pioneer supplies are no longer even installed. I turn things off so they are not costing credits per week when parked near the bubble, they only go on when needed.

Works as designed. Thargoids are planned to win the war no matter what you do.
How about the floating NPCs in stations/FCs? I can almost walk out in to space next to the lift that takes you to the command deck on my FC. I go in to sell exobiology on my FC and the clerk is wearing the counter he is suppose to be standing behind..
