Clean your chambers fairly often -- even when using brass-cased ammo.

There is far less chance of having any extraction issue. Steel is known to expand much less than brass, therefore more residue accumulates outside chambered, rigid steel cases.

This is not high school physics -- is it? It's not that difficult to do light cleaning.

Let's be very frank.
Much of the bias against Russian, or "Russian contract (Ukraine, Romanian)" ammo has Nothing to do with the ammo. It started with the Cold War, and is deceptive.

I put 500 rounds of Winchester Forged steel case through my Shadow Systems MR920 L. It was dirty, but I didn't have any issues with the pistol. I did find that it would not feed with PMags, it only fed reliably with factory Glock magazines.
 
Winchester Forged is probably the worst ammo I've ever shot.

Bad groupings and caused malfunctions in firearms that had never malfunctioned, even steel case.

Aside from that, I have shot plenty of steel case from Wolf and Tula. Neither has ever caused any malfunctions in either pistol or rifle.

It does seem to be a little bit underpowered in pistol cartridges though.
