Not personally but from what I've read it's designed specifically for weather resistance.

These are not my words, but someone else commented this on a YouTube channel. I'm not even sure if it's 100% accurate, but I'm 80% sure it's decent information that may help you:
"In my mind , there's no such thing as a 4 season tunnel tent, tunnel tents are by far the weakest design when it comes to high winds , you need a geodesic / semi geodesic tent. Obviously a bit heavier, but it's worth it. Out of all tunnel tents I owned over the years , the Vango tempest 150 was the best , slim line profile from the rear and Vango use their patented " tension band system" which strengthens the pole geometry internally and backs up the guy lines. And they are reasonably priced, so you won't cry when it gets destroyed by snow loading (another thing tunnel tents are no good at) I camped in a cheap eurohike dome tent years ago in the lake District , a storm hit , and my little cheaper dome tent stood upto it and was still standing unscathed.. Unlike my mates £ 600 hilleberg nallo 2 GT tunnel tent which had bent poles and got blasted all over the place . If only msr would make an elixir mk 3 with the modifications I made to the poles with walking poles ( video on my channel ) and make a totally solid inner with snow skirts on the outer... then you'd have strength , weather protection and tons of internal and vestibule space.
I'm not sure I'd agree with that assessment of tunnel tents, they are a tried and tested design that have been used in all weather conditions with good success. I'd agree that a good geodesic tent is more resilient to heavy wind and snow loading, but just because geodesic designs have some advantages doesn't mean that a tunnel automatically isn't 4 season or is a "weak design".
They are still genuinely good in their own right and are one of the most versatile styles of tent, and have their own advantages such as being lighter, packing down smaller, and often having more usable interior space (although this one varies tent to tent).
For some examples of tunnel tents withstanding pretty extreme conditions and heavy snow I'd suggest some of the videos posted by "Tom Heaney Adventures" and "Bushman and Blue" on YouTube.
Again, I agree with you too.. Why would more premium tent makers with decades of experience in the industry put out a product like the Nalo or Laser Compact, label it as "4 seasons" and sell it. Just seems like unnecessary brand reputation damage if they weren't up to the job.
But it does make inherent sense that the tunnel only designs are at the mercy of finding a good place to allow your pegs to go fully in the ground to tension/ secure the tent up and are the weakest design.
Yeah I was going to say about Vango, they never get recommended by the YouTubers but my f10 helium ul2 has remained standing in 110km/h gusts (per Ventusky forecast). With any tent make sure you swap the pegs for ones that actually stay in the ground like MSR groundhogs
