The only times you see issues with USB-serial is on the closed OS's like Win/mac. There are a lot of chinese clones of brand name chips so the brand name chip makers try to put counterfit detection in their drivers which often have issues. Typically you'll find one just stops working after a windows update and have to roll back to an older version of the driver. You can find these issues in places like ham radio forums where the usb-serial is used to program radios.

The only real issue you'll find on Linux os's is your non-root user doesn't have permissions by default so you can't communicate until you add your user to the dialout group. This catches a lot of people who come from os's with less secure defaults.

If your worried about the quality of the cable at the calculator side, I believe Sampson cables is still around and selling theirs. They were the non-HP goto back in the 90's, my cable is one of theirs.
