Well, i can say I have seen contacts "disappear" as well. I swear I saved them to Google but when I try and find them they don't show up.
I've seen some weird issues for example with my cousin's phone number. Her google name is a nickname not her real name. So for years I couldn't find her number by her real name. I had to change the name in my contact list to her actual name so I could find it.
Also, when I merge duplicates, I get issues after and "lose" phone numbers/contacts. I no longer merge duplicates.
I don't know how long Samsung retains backups. I have Google One and found this information about backups:
