Is the updated Todoist Google Calendar sync really this bad?

Maybe I’m missing something but this new Google Calendar sync that we have to switch to seems like a huge downgrade from what we had before.

The old system worked great but now I’m dealing with these problems:

Everything gets synced now - Before I could pick which project tasks would show up in my calendar. Now every single task from every project dumps into Google Calendar. My work stuff, personal tasks, even old archived projects all show up together.

Calendar events don’t mix with regular tasks anymore - The calendar items now sit in their own section at the top of each day instead of being mixed in with my normal Todoist tasks. This means I can’t see everything in order by time or priority like before.

Can’t edit calendar stuff in Todoist - If I want to change anything about calendar events I have to go back to Google Calendar. Before I could just edit them right in Todoist like any other task.

Lost all the extra features - Tags, labels, and other Todoist features don’t work with calendar items anymore since they only exist in the separate calendar section.

This is especially bad for paid users since we can create tons of projects. I have dozens of projects with hundreds of tasks and now they’re all cluttering up my shared family calendar. My wife is not happy about this mess.

Am I understanding this correctly or is there something I’m missing about how this new integration works?

Nope, you’re not missing anything - this is just how the new integration works and it sucks. Been dealing with the same crap since they forced the migration last month. The lack of project filtering is the worst part, especially if you mix work and personal stuff in Todoist. I ended up creating a separate Google Calendar just for Todoist sync so it doesn’t mess up my main calendar that I share with family. Not ideal, but it keeps things contained. You can disable sync for specific projects in your Todoist settings, but you have to do each one individually which is annoying. The editing limitation kills the whole point of managing everything in one place. Maybe they’ll fix some of this stuff later, but right now we’re stuck with this downgraded mess.
