If I am not mistaken the tradeoff is losing add-ons but being able to install other services.

So... what is your experience? Are add-ons useful/common for your use case?

I run my own a VM.

I was sceptical about running in a OS that I can't run my normal updates and automations on but HA OS has been rock solid and easy. Plus you get a few more features

I second that, I just put it in a VM on my proxmox host. zero issues so far.
