Right! So part of the problem is they’re planted in full sun without anything else around them- and often in not necessarily moist locations. That leads to the broad open form- structurally challenging.
Red maple * actually does fairly well here- Reach had it low on his list but of the large maples, that’s probably the most resilient here. Goosefoot maple is of course my actual first choice <3
I’d like to plant Black and Southern sugar maple, get a time machine and see how they both do around here. One or the other might be a really good bet.
*I mean red maple when it plants itself- not the root bound volcano mulch cultivars that line the streets of the gated communities. Those do not last long.

Red maple in my immediate area do not tolerate the alkaline soil - they are almost always chlorotic.
