Auto-downloads work wonderfully here and can even be set per-podcast which is such a nice feature.
Not saying this to denigrate your experience but to perhaps soften the ‘is horrific’ notion into somewhat more of a ‘does not work for you’ one.
Otherwise, I suppose Pocket Casts is also open source nowadays - or has always been and I did not notice? But that was a reasonably good alternative for me as well before I switched to AntennaPod.
I’ve tested this on 4 or 5 different devices and each of them had major problems.
Several people have argued with me before that it works “fine” only to later admit that they don’t even use it.
By all means, if you have the time to pfaff with it, give it a shot. Personally I listen to podcasts when driving and can’t be diving through the 394718024 different settings to figure out how to just make it work while driving down the road.
