From iOS 16 and above there is an option to clear SafariViewController caching via SFSafariViewController.DataStore.default.clearWebsiteData(). But yeah it's recommended to use WKWebView for more complex web based actions (as it gets hard to maintain/customise SFSafariViewController). Also refer https://stackoverflow.com/a/35709357/18340745

According to the documentation yes. SFSafariViewController is meant to be secure with very limited developer interaction. Anything more complicated or custom you'd have to use a custom WKWebView. Would be nice if SFSafariViewController were a little more flexible though.
