Hi.
I’m looking to switch to EE, as Vodafone max speeds and reliability have really gone down hill recently. Probably get a ‘phone’ SIM rather than mobile broadband package as they are obviously a lot cheaper.
We are reasonably heavy users, 1 - 2tb per month. How are EE with this, any issues?

Go EE Business, cheaper with a better FUP and you don't have to be a business, just tell them you will be breaking the consumer limit of 12 devices being connected so you need a business tariff. 2tb may be a bit much though even for Business FUP.

According to the FAQ - https://ee.co.uk/help/help-new/offers-and-services/o...
... there are no caps or speed restrictions or throttling "as long as the data is for personal use" but I do remember being informed when I took my SIM out about three years ago that 1Tb a month was considered fair use with 2Tb being "of concern".
From the current TOS - 4GEE and 5GEE Home plans...
"Unlimited Plans
Unlimited Plans are for personal, non-commercial use only. We will consider usage above 1000GB/month to be non-personal use and have the right to apply traffic management controls to deprioritise your mobile traffic during busy periods or to move you to a business plan."
It is also mentioned in TOS - Pay Monthly Phone Plans except the limit there is only 600Gb a month.

It might be, but when you have household of 2 adults and three teenagers, who watch a lot of Netflix and game a lot etc, it’s very easy to use over 1tb a month.

Is this a cost-saving issue or your only option?
Bandwidth is much more scarce per user than a fixed line provider. If consistent performance if your primary concern, you may find mobile broadband frustrating long term.

What are you going to put the phone SIM in? A phone or a router?
Connections: OnePlus 8 Pro on Three 4+ (LTE)/5G and at home Three Mobile, with (Three)ZTE MF286D router giving about 113/20Mbps.

OK, now I have found out EE have a FUP on ‘unlimited’ plans (1tb for businesses) plus limits on how many devices are connected (12, which I and many others will well exceed) I’m going to stick with Vodafone and look at a better router and many e upgrade my external antenna as well.

I feel your pain, we're in the same situation.
However we don't have mobile or TV reception, thankfully we have FTTC 40Mb.
We have installed Starlink for faster speeds, around 200Mb down, 20Mb up.

I used an EE business unlimited SIM for several years in a rural area to provide home and business internet - I typically used 500-600GB/m (so not the 2TB) but had way over 12 devices attached (>60 at times). Had no issues. I believe the limit on devices is only due to the limits of the router they can provide, and not something they actually enforce.
I only stopped using it when I finally got FTTP.
