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've run both, and the OS version is much more stable and easier to keep running. Whether you use an rpi or a VM, use the dedicated OS and save yourself the heartache of trying to get your hardware working with docker.
