Oh there's plenty of problems, hence why there's no need for there to be a conspiracy to explain why we're not driving around in fuel cell cars.
And that's what most of these stories turn out to be: Some basic technology that's well known and nowhere near as groundbreaking as the meme claims. Like induction power transmission or ceramic engines or fuel cells.
Actually fuel cells are pretty good now and are mostly used in industrial settings for forklifts etc. Ironically, being around car exhaust kills them because it gets into the membranes and stops them from working properly. The real issue is the high pressure hydrogen or liquid hydrogen that is required. Compressors suck at compressing it and the liquefaction cycle isn't efficient. In a power plant setting super caps are definitely necessary and they are used for all types of plants.
From personal experience when using fuel cells, all you have to do is flow in more hydrogen to up the power generation up until its saturated. So that's very easy to do almost instantly with a flow controller. Forklifts is the best practical application I know. What kills them is being around air like the Chinese have. That's what currently makes them impractical, other than the heavy metals.
