PS4 Optimization Not Much Better (Updated)
Played a few games for the first time since the performance update as killer and honestly, I doesn't feel much better than it was. Here's a breakdown of all my games:
Game 1 - Demogorgon: the game completely froze for nearly two seconds when releasing to shred. When my frames came back, the survivor was gone.
Game 2 - Demogorgon: Frequent stutters whenever I placed a portal or charged a shred, making it difficult to properly aim and hit survivors. Basically missed every shred.
Game 3/4 - Pyramid Head: Playing PH right now bractically makes me nauseus. Contant frame dips whenever I am holding trail of torment, which again makes his ranged attack incredibly difficult to aim. Probably only about a 40% success rate? And that's if it lines up properly since I can't really tell until I let the button go. Super bummed about this since he's currently my favorite killer.
Game 5 - Freddy: Again, constant stuttering drops in framerate when charging a dream snare. Sometimes freezes when the graphic for where it's placed pops into view. Also the occasional hard drop when someone is picked up or pulled off a hook.
Game 6 - Freddy: Had a survivor WALK THROUGH ME. Yup, you read that right. She popped up out of nowhere, taking me by surprise in a narrow section in Hawkins. Before I had a chance to swing she popped out and kept running behind me. There definitely wasn't enough space for her to go around, I think she just phased right through my body, completely unharmed btw. Didn't even get a free hit.
That's all I can take for now. This game gives me a headache from the inconsistent framerates, so I can't play for long periods. Will probably try some games as survivor later and see if they fare any better. For now, I'm very much not impressed.
UPDATE: Survivor rounds do seem to be significantly better for me, at least compared to killer side. Still a few blips here and there, and I didn't get the Nemesis at all (if he's still worse than the other killers). So that's good at least.

I've had the opposite experience though I've only played Clown, Wraith and Nemesis so far. I haven't had any frame drops outside of Dead Hard which is still broke. That seems to be the norm for that perk though.

I played a couple games as nemesis yesterday and it was better, but still had issues; it was closer to pre-RE update. I saw a post from someone else saying PH was awful the play and killer overall still seems to be rough in a lot of aspects unfortunately.

I think this is the end for the PS4 players. This is gonna take awhile to fix or never.
The only solution is the PS5.

PS4 Pro user here, with an upgraded SSD. The game definitely runs better for me, but it still feels worse than it did pre-RE Chapter. I'm still getting random bursts of frame drops, where it goes down to what feels like 20 fps.
Also, I had a lobby bug, where after a match, the lobby would drop to like 10 or less fps until I went to the store or rebooted.
Getting a PS5 shouldn't be the answer for a game that came out 4 years ago on current Gen. And that's being said without even getting into how hard it is to get a PS5. This game was built for current Gen and optimization was promised for current Gen, so it should work on current Gen.

It’s been good on my end for Xbox One S

What I've seen is that there's a delay, when you spawn in, before it actually gives you control of your killer. Also, Dead Hard makes the game lag, so that's still not fixed!
