Much like other things, it's always fine until it is not.
The data indicates that "until it is not" is a lot more frequent and consistent with UA.
Now, the trend *may* change but a bump in the right direction is not (yet) a trend, and many, many operational factors and risks remain in UA's management and operation.
It's not an invalid question or concern - when it comes to *controllable factors* the data is incredibly unfriendly to choosing UA if you want to be somewhere on time consistently.

My personal experience is high 90% range for on time flights out of and into SFO. Bags have always made it on my flight or even the flight before mine and are waiting for me.
To the OP, If UA has the routes and schedules and price points that meet your needs then UA is for you. If it doesn't then look elsewhere.
