My 2018 15” MacBook Pro runs Sonoma without any issues. Only thing I notice is wake from sleep on battery seems to be a little slow. But maybe it just feels that way because of my M1 air.
Weird, yeah not sure why I had so many issues but it was an adventure to get all rolled back. Booting into recovery mode it had no issues charging or recognizing usb devices. So guessing something borked at the OS level.
Just a guess though. If I had a backup computer I would have tried to dig deeper. But atm just need a working machine.
