In writing, miscommunications are a lot like coincidence, in that most audiences don't mind them if they're early on and start a plot element, but fucking detest them if they are the conclusion/resolution of a plot element.
You want to write a good miscommunication plot? You gotta root the miscommunication in why your characters can't understand each other. It's gotta be a clash of worldviews, not wording. The resolution cannot be that they have a conversation and realize "Whoops! You didn't know a bit of info/didn't understand what I was saying! Now you do, so we're all good!" it's gotta deal with the consequences that occured because of the initial misunderstanding, and the context that led to the misunderstanding to begin with. (OR You gotta focus on the things done while the Miscommunication was happening, and the consequences of that.)
(example: Miscommunications are actually really common in romance/relationship stories, like if Character A has low self-confidence and misreads B's advances as a joke. They need to move together towards A understanding B, or A has to get to a place where they understand their own worth and thus understanding B. They can't just sit down and B promises they totally mean it, or everything in-between was a waste of time.)
