Hmm, I have the opposite. Closing the door is very reliable. Opening the door is fussy, and sometimes I have to pull very close for the opener to work.

I could never get the LiftMaster to work with my cars. Works once and that’s it.
Installled the LiftMaster with MyQ instead and I use my LiftMaster App on my phone. Works on gate and garage door and every time. No extra opener required as back up except when internet goes out. Wish Apple would add it to CarPlay.
I also needed an opener with back up battery as I only have one entry point which is the garage door. So prior to new opener, if power outage I could not get into my garage.

Purchased 2014 911 last June and programed Homelink using a single port(leftmost I think). Kept failing every week or so. Decided to program all ports. After a couple weeks one port failed, started using the other two ports and a second failed shortly thereafter. The center port seems reliable; no issues for 10-12 weeks until late October when I put the car on a tender and left for fairer climes. By the way, had a 2011 MB for three years with no issues and still have a 2007 Hyundai that has never required a reprogram since new!!

I’ve had issues where I had to move 30 feet down the driveway before I could get the open garage door to close. Same area of the driveway caused a fail to start because the car couldn’t communicate with the key. This happened to an older car (not Porsche) with a chip in the ignition key. All this I attribute to electrical interference.

I haven’t programmed the rolling code yet on the 911 homelink yet. I tried the regular programming per instructions and it did nothing.
i did program on my MB C300 and it works flawlesly from like 100ft as I approach the garage always surprised by the range.

Mine works great on the fifth Friday of even months. Otherwise it sucks. Bought another remote but with no cubby for it or the phone they all live in the passenger seat and get thrown into the floor every trip..... The interior ergonomics of this 911 is just as bad as the Homelink.

I finally put 2+2 together after replacing the bulbs on my two ~12 year old Liftmaster Pro openers...
I began to have very erratic operation of my opener; I'd reprogram the car's Homelink, and it'd open fine (and just to head-fake me, it'd close initially too); but invariably, at 5:45 AM leaving for work, it wouldn't close. Pulling back up in the evening...it'd open. Even my dedicated remotes lost their ability to close the doors. Searching Google, I found that some LED bulbs apparently interfere with the reception on garage door openers; I even had cross-talk between the bulbs/openers as well (a light remaining 'on' at one opener would mess with the other opener next to it in the garage).
Sure enough, I removed the bulbs and things returned to normal. But, rather than experiment further, I just decided to just replace the damn things and it's been smooth sailing since (and the new ones have genuine Genie-approved LED bulbs).
