So in your experience, suspend-to-RAM work more reliably than suspend-to-disk ?

Fedora reawakens the hibernation debate

Of course. It has been quite some years since suspend-to-RAM has failed, for me. And as long since I last tried to get hibernation to work.

That said, I usually could get hibernation working, with enough effort. I had learned to avoid Nvidia, and the i915 driver was getting pretty OK (meaning it would wake up from suspend-to-RAM as often as from hibernation).

Even when both worked, I never got it to switch reliably from suspended to hibernating when the battery got low. But I don't doubt somebody did.
