Are the grab animations still bugged?

9 times out of 10 when I enter the grab animation (mostly when someone tries to unhook another Survivor right in my face), it cancels out and both of them escape. I've had it work most often on windows and pallets, but it literally never seems to work on gens and hooks. I looked it up and it seems people have been reporting this issue for months now, and while the devs said that a fix is in their to-do list, the bug is still there. Can we expect a fix for this anytime in the near future (as in, not in a year or two)?

If not, it would be nice to have the grab animations turned off entirely since they harm us more than do us any good. Or at the very least, not get grab-based challenges.
