Anecdotally, most current or former homeschooled kids I meet seem pretty socially awkward. I wonder if It’s because the miss-out on the opportunity to learn how to socialize properly as children. But maybe I’m being too critical, idk.

I think it’s a shitty thing to do long term unless your child has disabilities (in which case a school accomodating them is better).
Send your kid where they choose to go, it’ll probably be school where their friends are.
I, already being pretty awkward as a child, cannot imagine trying to unlearn awkwardness after suddenly changing to public schooling. Might even have the opposite problem, showing too much energy when interacting with people i don’t know well.
Definitely DEFINITELY don’t do it for primary (elementary) school age.
a lot of homeschooling ends before secondary school. 6-7% of kids are home schooled for primary school.
only half of them go through high school, only 3% of high schooled are home schooled.
