I recently upgraded from an iPhone 8 to the 13 pro max and I don't miss the home button one bit. I have very little trouble going from home to app switcher. One thing that helped me get a hang of the home button gesture, is don't press your finger so hard on the screen when doing the gesture. Give the screen a very light touch with just a little bit of pressure. If you press very hard on the screen all you'll do is be sliding your finger around on the screen. I mostly use a braille bluetooth keyboard called the Hable One so I don't have any trouble backing out of menus. However, even if I'm not using my keyboard, I can back out of menus just fine with no issues.
