Bought a house end of Feb 2021, because of solicitor screw up paperwork was filed with the land registry only in June/July 2021. Records still have not been updated.. at what point is it resonable to start getting annoyed at the solicitor that we used?

As others have mentioned getting annoyed isn’t the way to go if you bought and from completion onwards your purchase was protected. 

The pandemic has certainly impacted re longer wait times but there’s always been a ‘wait’ from completion to registration and so many possible reasons, many highlighted here, too.
Most new owners have moved in and cracked on with everything exciting to do that brings. The registration confirmation comes later, sometimes months later, but protection through priority is the key. 

The wait is an admin issue for many inc conveyancer, lender and ourselves, but not you as the owner so resist getting annoyed or worrying as it won’t change that wait or end result 

It's not that simple though is it? Land registry documents are required for Home office visa applications to prove that you are a home owner to facilitate sponsoring spouses. Is there a more useful answer rather than saying that this is an 'admin issue'? 

The simple answer to that Q is in the other comments already made - my answer was in response to the OP hence the quote
Your circumstance is very different and if there’s a proven urgency then you can request expedition. 

That wasn’t the case for the OP if I understood their post correctly
Expedition shortens the wait time if an application is with us but unstarted. Have you/your conveyancer done that? 

Reduced wait times can help but registration requirements must still be met. So expedition can help markedly if everything is in order
