Getting error notices for the Jetpack 9.0 update

Anyone else getting error notices for the Jetpack 9.0 update? I just updated one site, and immediately got an error notice from WP: “Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.
In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Jetpack by WordPress.com.”
Seriously? From WP itself? It doesn’t seem to have taken my site down, but I’m sure as heck not going to perform the updates to any other sites with JetPack.

Well… Jetpack is one of the worst plugins ever made so I’m not surprised! I had Jetpack installed after it first came out. It dragged my speed down tremendously. So I uninstalled it asap. Did they ever improve on that?

Sites loading under 1 second using Jetpack. I don’t think it is a problem anymore in term of speed.
