I think it's a bit of both. The A220 fleet worldwide has had terrible reliability due to poor engines and general supply chain issues; even the world's largest operators like Delta and Air Canada have had to ground a large portion of their fleet. I saw recently that a third of all Airbus new narrowbody aircraft (NEO and A220) are currently grounded over reliability concerns.
Expect the same with Qantas' A321XLR.
