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?

There's nothing that you can't do with docker that you can do with addons, but many things you can do with docker that you can't do with addons.

Addons are marginally easier to setup but if you have technical skills, docker is also not a lot of work. You can use something like Portainer to get a similar easy interface. So I think it's down to if you have the technical skills for docker.

I run ha supervised and I do both, but the system does complain that I do that.
