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?

Used to use it on Truenas as a plugin, but that was quite difficult to keep updated. So I put the OS on the Pi that I had laying around and it's been a lot more stable and easier to maintain. Keep in mind to use a external SSD instead of an SD card though, the SD card will fail too quickly.
