Can any users give their opinion on how it's helping their productivity? What problems are they finding, if any?

Tried it out for a while, and it's clear that it's trying to get people to be faster at writing boilerplate, not get people to write better code.

I'm a bit scared for what this means as I don't think being able to faster write boilerplate is something worthwhile. The example ed_elliott_asc made is one of those examples where instead of fixing things so you don't have to repeat yourself, copilot makes it easy to just live with the boilerplate instead.

Boilerplate is exclusively what I use AI-powered code completion for (currently Tabnine).

In a perfect world we’d all have excellent comprehensive metaprogramming facilities in our programming languages and no incidence of RSI (e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome). Code completion is a good tool to deal with these realities.
