It would depend on how long the joke goes on and to what extreme.
“5 minutes super confused, until I look at my phone” = okay
"An elaborate prank where she changed all the dates that lasts 20 minutes = okay
“A day of being told my family died, world ended, etc” = not okay.
As someone who doesn’t like April Fools’, I see your point. This plays with the trust of their relationship. However, if the trust is solid and there is a mutual understanding of how they can play with that trust, it’s probably fine.
I guess it depends on the couple, e.g. how frequently they joke in a similar manor, what they know about their trigger points or if there is a hidden struggle for power. I think for most couples this would be a harmless prank both can laugh about and kiss afterwards.
Honestly I would be angry too. But then after I would have completely woken up I would laugh about it. And think of a payback. Maybe even something involving a moist, cold sponge.
Am I the only one that would probably be gaslit into believing it and be really really pissed off when I learned the truth?

Idk, I think I’d be impressed by the effort for that last one
I straight up wouldn’t buy it, but, if I did, I’d love it.

I think it’d be funny. But different strokes for different folks, I reckon.
Yes, yes you are. And I sincerely hope for the women around you that you’re single. That’s not healthy and you should probably seek counseling.
Jumping to conclusions on little to no evidence is a bigger red flag than a person who blindly trusts their partner when abruptly shaken awake.
We can’t all be perfect like you
