Hello,
I have RTL8821CE card and with this driver I get poor perception on 5GHz
(2-3 meters max to the router) and only 30-50cm to the router on 2.4GHz.
I'm currently using this driver https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce
that works fine but I understand it will be deprecated once RTW88 goes
into the kernel.
Kind regards.

I think the word you want is reception not perception.
Please quantify how bad your reception really is by running the following
commands and posting the output:
iw dev | grep Interface
sudo iw dev <DEVICE> scan | egrep "signal|freq|SSID:"
where <DEVICE> is the interface name from the first command.
