“Last few decades” is a bit of a stretch. The only real issues up until 2005 were regarding the transmissions, and those got fixed in 2006. No significant problems until about 2015 or so when they started to make everything electronic, including key locks and such. The newest generations have been iffy, but my experience with Hondas up until then have been pretty solid, and you’d be hard pressed to find NHTSA recalls of any significant quantity or severity until then. 80% of recalls for Hondas in that era are for airbags (due to age) and exterior light bulbs going out (due to age) and the rest are usually regarding transmissions, with a handful of other parts thrown in.
I won’t say they were as reliable as the 90’s models per se, since those could take significant neglect and still be okay, but most things past that are really down to lack of maintenance for the most part. There will obviously be exceptions to this, but I would still take any Honda from that era over most brands except for Toyota.
