I currently have 2023 Desktop and love it.  However, I am so afraid of it crashing, so QB Customer Service recommended QB Online.  However, I do my own payroll in QB's.  I used the time sheet option and then pay employee's and enter all the tax information and QB keeps track of all the payroll tax liabilities that I pay monthly, and the reports for the end of the year.  It works great for me.  However, doing some research it doesn't look like the online version has that same capability.  I do not want to pay for the subscription, I only have three employees and I don't mind doing the payroll.  Where can I find out for sure what payroll looks like on QB Online?

QuickBooks desktop is far more reliable than Online.

That is correct. Online is missing a whole lot of what you have in Desktop, including the Desktop concept of "manual payroll" where you can use the payroll feature and calculate your own taxes.
