Is adb remount broken on android api 29?

I started the emulator with
emulator -avd Pixel_3a_XL_API_29 -writable-system -no-snapshot-load

I found many ppl encounter emulator freeze and unable to start the android if you try

$ adb root
$ adb disable-verity
$ adb reboot   <--- By now emulator is freezed

Then you can try this

$ adb root
$ adb shell avbctl disable-verification  <--- this will not freeze the emulator
$ adb reboot

When the emulator restarted
Try to remount will be no issue

adb root
adb remount 

adb push will be able to write on system directory
