I have real issues with this bastard.
Twin heavy machine guns fine logical.
The energy burst build up thing, fine logical.
The central cannon thing kills me very often. I cannot seem to see any tell that it is about to fire. If I am not in cover all of a sudden i am other outright downed for shields striped and then downed. You can't even see the thing firing, or at least I can't.
Does anyone else have issues with this or I am the only L2P person here?

It starts to vibrate before it fires. You have two or three seconda window before it charges.

I see the vibrate and shield thing coming up on the one attack but from a distance I don't seem to see anything, i just die. Must just be poor observation on my part.

If its dual cannons are still active and you don’t hear them firing, assume that it’s targeting someone with its super cannon. I always try to account for a Destroyer(s) location at all times when I am fighting Remnant.
Some characters fully shielded can survive the initial blast but not the second. If you get hit, quickly find cover before the second blast. If not, hope someone is nearby to rez you.

It's pretty obvious when it starts up, because the Destroyer stops moving, the arm cannons stop firing, it opens up, a glow appears on the front of it and there's a two second or so delay making it terribly obvious.
The only way you can't see it coming is if you're either not looking or your graphics card really, really sucks. Step down to Bronze games where you can take it easy and watch what's going on for a couple dozen rounds or so, and the signs will become obvious.
Incidentally, if its shields are down, the best time and the best target to shoot at is the main cannon while it's charging up.

The chest opens up in a very clear and obvious way maybe ~4 or so seconds before the first shot, and then the 2nd always follows exactly 2-3 seconds after. There's usually time to react and boost out of the way or take cover in between the 2 shots.
There's also an audio queue that I suppose you might be missing if you listen to music or mute the game sound.
Not sure how you are missing the giant glowing ball of light in it's chest in the seconds before it fires, or the sudden stopping of the machine guns (which is another tell it's going to shoot). I'm not trying to be snarky at all but maybe try looking at it?

Destroyers aren’t so bad but can we talk about Platinum Progenitors? They have, what, a bajillion shields and armor? FFS. You start shooting them and then after a while your fingers are tired so you tape down the triggers, and a while after that you go get coffee, and then after that the thing still has half a blue bar...

Yeah, they take a long time. Wait for the mouth to open before unloading on it. Or, like with Destroyers, take out the turrets first before tackling the body. During Boss objectives, I do tend to shoot 2-3 Cobras to make it more manageable. If time is running out, I'll use all my Cobras.

Remember good old times when you cold one shot Destroyer on Gold with Cobra when they open their mouth? Before they patched that I used 90-95% of my rockets on Destroyers. After the patch I pretty much just stopped using them.

Get shot at by destroyer... Before kamehameha hits you, use clairvoyance to hear danger comming and turn and biotic charge it! Right after biotic charge, shoot it with Black Widow Siphon in the eye! FALCON PUNCH! the breacher trying to set you up in the second kamehameha... then right before it blast you... GALACTIC NOVA BOMB THE HELL OUT OF EVERYTHING AROUND!!! Soon as animation over, snipe destroyer in eye again! Use shockwave to set off biotic explosion.. Get one last shot off on destroyer before it closes eye... Biotic charge your way back to safety...
Repeat...
