I don't have any anecdotes, really. On all my cheap devices, I never really had any issues with apps getting killed by battery management. I know that sometimes, you'll have to specifically switch off battery management for these specific apps, which can usually be done with a single action that the app generally let's you access directly on first setup.
But I've always used stock android or at least AOSP based Roms - I've never stuck with OEM Roms longer than the (usually) first 7 days they keep you from unlocking the bootloader. Once I can unlock the bootloader, the OEM Rom is gone.
I do know that some OEMs have their own battery management implemented on top of androids, which is often more aggressive, and a bit more convoluted to access.
Yeah, this was really my first time with a Samsung and I'll never go near it again...
