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?

This is what I do with a Pi running HAOS and a Synology ds920+ running backups and everything else. It's been rock solid, gives me a decent backup solution, my home automation is stable and responsive and no-fuss, and plenty of options for tinkering. Highly recommend.
