Going back to a previous version of One UI is dangerous
One of the things you should know is that returning to a older version of Samsung’s operating system is complicated and dangerous, since also if you take a wrong step you can end up making your cell phone unusable or not working or not knowing what to do next. We recommend that you put yourself in the hands of an expert if you want to do it because if it goes wrong and you don’t know how to act, it can be a real problem. It may seem easy to follow steps, but sometimes things get complicated.
Also, if you get it, your phone will not be updated and It is more vulnerable to viruses, errors and does not receive news of the new version of One UI. Can you do it? Yes, in most cases, there are some where it doesn’t. Do we recommend it to you? No. The best thing is that, if it bothers you so much, try factory restoring your phone to see if that works better for you.
Before that, if you suspect that a version may give you problems, you can wait for other people to update and find out if there are any major bugs before updating.
