Why I (generally) don't use indented syntax templates anymore (pdx.su)

The Temple examples look very nice; the Builder ones to my eye look quite cluttered in comparison, which I'm guessing is due to differences in syntax between their respective languages.

I tink the main downside of templating in general is that it ends up making interfacing with JavaScript and plain HTML harder, compared to CustomElementRegistry based components.

Builder is mostly targeted at building XML files, and so compared to XML its fairly terse. HTML is just a nice also-have. There are template langs in ruby that are a lot closer to the Elixir temple variant, but I can't remember any of them off the top of my head haha.
