I finally saw what 2 years of bad caulking does to a shower tile

Pulled out the old grout last weekend in my master bath and found black mold growing behind the caulk line on the floor side, has anyone else run into this with silicone vs acrylic caulk?

Silicone's the way to go, hands down. Acrylic lets moisture sneak through way too easy, especially in wet areas like shower floors. Black mold is no joke, you gotta rip it all out and start fresh with 100% silicone. That caulk line is the only thing standing between your tile and a whole lot of damage. Two years is about right for cheap caulk to fail completely.
