Any good alternative to the bang bang controller?

Or is it still too early?

There are basically 3 concepts:

Bang Bang
PID
Direct linear control

The issue is, that all of them are, in the end, just as fast as all the others since they patched in a maximum change rate for the sliders. At that point it comes down to the fact that bang bang is literally 2 components, while the others are quite a few more. I prefer direct control if I have the resources available, simply because it gets rid of oscillating output during stable demand. PID is also good if you want a simple, unchanging setup, altough fiddling with the numbers gets tedious after x amount of times repeating it.

There's a 4. concept: Whacking the captain with a wrench until the problems go away!

Also pretty sure the bangbang doesn't work anymore. At least the old version that every bad engineer slapped on.
