As someone who was against VAR from the start, I'm pleased to see someone as high profile as Lineker come out and admit he was wrong about it and has changed his mind. Fingers crossed this continues and we can start to move towards getting rid of it.

Seeing as we have seen successful and fairly painless implementations of VAR (such as World Cup 2018) it seems to me the issue is (as always) more a matter of the quality of the referees.

I agree with you. The inconsistencies also cause a lot of confusion and delay imo. To me at least, it hasn’t made the game worse to watch at all
