Has anyone here ever played Cyberpunk 2020? If so, what are some experiences you can share? I'm interested in starting a campaign for some friends and was curious as to how a game can go.

Played it when it first came out. Had a great time with it. Ran it for years after.
Played a solo in my first campaign. Almost no cyber stuff, but jacked with skills. Went full street samurai with katakana and everything.
Ended up taking down this place that kidnapped girls to hook them to machines so they would be controlled for sex games - whatever you want. Called in a favor from a gang affiliation I had from character creation to do it. Later a full borg guy came back after me for revenge and destroyed by motorcycle (that sucked). I did manage to stop him though, but word was out on me and I had blown through favors already.
That was the first game I played.

It's super dated now, both in terms of mechanics and its presentation of technology. I would just mine it for ideas and use something more modern or that has aged better. TechNoir is pretty good, Savage Worlds also, and you can always use FATE or GURPS, depending on if you want no crunch or too much crunch.
And if you hate yourself, you can play Shadowrun.

Is Shadowrun 5e the only real option for a modern rules-heavy Cyberpunk game?

I've been running it for almost two years straight now. I love the game, but there are a lot of situations not covered by the rules that you will need to houserule for. The core mechanics themselves are perfect in my opinion, I especially love how the wound track works and we always have great quick combats with it. I also love that the majority of classes are not oriented around combat, so you end up playing a much more dynamic game than just spending all your time going around killing stuff. Most of my most successful players have done so well for themselves by utilizing their social skills, technical skills, connections, etc instead of muscling their way through everything. It is better to get your netrunner to be more based around controlling cameras and the like and leave the hardline hacking up to an interface roll and a program once in a while - running the net grid is a chore.
