While testing web applications, I made a couple of conclusions for myself. All that will be written next, please consider only my opinion, which I do not impose on anyone and do not consider the truth.
My rules for testing web applications via UI are:
1. Web page, application, or Item to Test - Static
or
2. Test items on a page or in an application have unique identifiers/attributes
If none of these rules are met, then I am not even trying to write any UI tests!
As an alternative, I personally write functional tests based primarily on request/response requests. Of course, this approach also has its drawbacks, but makes the testing process stable.
I hope I helped a little, at least morally)

A_Roskoshnyi That would be the ideal situation, but a lot of us are not in the ideal situation and need to test what we are given. That means we have to get creative like MarkSchofer is doing.

Marsha_R, it is true that we do not live in ideal conditions, and this is why I often take a very tough but pragmatic position.
I advise everyone to watch this short video, it seems to me that it reflects life of tester very well:
Draw conclusions yourself.
