I think you had the same problem I have with my induction hot plate: The pulse width modulation is too long. When you’re going low and slow having it at full power for a whole second is going to burn/boil things over.
I still love it for searing or boiling big pots of water, and even for making stock.
That was exactly the problem with simmering anything.
Also, only 9 power levels wasn't enough. It was very powerful (nice when I wanted full power) but the steps in power were too big. For many things the only options were too hot or too cold.
But the fault that made me replace it was an intermittent one: occasionally (about five times in 18 months) it went to full power. This could happen at any power setting. No change in the indicated setting, but the power would come on continuously. Anything other than a pot of water would, in just a few seconds, be burning. Very dangerous! Fortunately, it never happened when I wasn't standing right there to turn the power off at the wall switch. Being intermittent, technicians couldn't find/fix the fault. It also occasionally stopped heating for a minute or so at a time, as if there was some thermal lockout even when nothing was unusually hot, but at least that wasn't dangerous.
The old Frigidaire (Eletrolux) induction range I am still using uses .5 steps from "Power Boil" (10) down to 3. From power level 3 down it offers .2 steps, so 3, 2.8, 2.6, etc.
I haven't had any trouble simmering with it.
That would solve one of my major problems with induction stoves.
Now to just have my house wired for it and to be able to afford one.
