You can't trust communications from Frontier. I've lost count how many times patch notes have claimed to fix specific bugs (PS4) during 2018 update cycle, only to be wrong. Granted, they will let you know when there are new patches to download, but you'll have to try those patches for yourself to see if they actually do what that promise (or they do something not promised, which also is quite common).
FWIW, I am exactly where you are, except perhaps less hopeful that the game will ever truly be fixed. Take heart, your ED "addiction" will pass in time!
