I think it might depend on what model you have. I have a hl-l2395dw (monochrome laser printer) and cups has never failed me. I’ve had zero issues with it and wireless printing works fine, I use arch and mint and both work fine.
Maybe its the newer printers? I bought mine in 2019 or so
My anecdotal experience is based on using cups and not installing brother proprietary drivers
