I would slightly disagree, not to say that ain't no problems but there are less issues with them.
First off, you do need a password manager; no human can remember all the different passwords to all the resources you access. With that in place, you need to pick one that meets your criteria - namely, to support passkey and hopefully on all platforms you use (MacOS, Linux, Web, Windows, whatever). After that is settled and you have your password manager on your windows, your mac , your browser and iPhone, life gets easier since you store them in your smart password manager. The icky feeling I have is still you have to "trust" someone (your smart password manager provider) not to f-up (tall order one might think) and keep you safe. That is a risk not everyone is willing to take. So, in my humble opinion, passkeys are not inherently bad; it's the implementation you choose that is important and worth a lot of your time to plan properly and educate your users.
I wonder what percentage of internet users use password managers

I suspect very low.

what makes you think that? My IT view is skewed since we all use it, but out in the wild? Why you think is low? You mean most people use browser feature for that?
