Tradfri binding loses connection after Power failure / gateway reboot

I have recently done a hard reset (with a pin) of my Ikea Gateway following the 1.8.25 firmware disaster.
I have added just 1 E27 CT bulb and 1 5-button remote.
OH2 still fails to re-connect after a restart.
The state of this issue makes for a very unstable experience and it has been like this for many months now.
I see the same on a second site I run.
My solution is ditching the Ikea Gateway all together opting for this solution instead.
