I see 22 countries are now exempt from K-ETA until the end of 2024 for Visit Korea Year. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm not sure I trust airline staff to allow me to board without one despite the exemption.

I can confirm that the K-ETA is not currently needed for exempt countries. The arrival card just asks your name and address and is given out with the health declaration form (United passed these out in flight, and there were plenty around the arrivals hall, as well). No issues boarding the plane, checking in online, or entering the country.
