GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80 shipped a rewritten anti-ban routing layer in this release — the most recent protocol-matching work among current mods. FM WhatsApp ships its own anti-ban layer with a different approach. Independent ban-rate testing is not possible because Meta does not publish that data, so neither side can credibly claim a specific number.
