Thank you. I've found a related answer on stackoverflow and came up with quite a similar solution.

Wanted to update that on my devices (iOS 13) and simulators (13, 14) max zoom never causes that much delta with target value. In my case minCenterCoordinateDistance ~875 and max zoom value is ~890, so probably mapKitBugAdjustmentFactor should be removed or significantly reduced.
