I've never found pressing modifier keys to be an issue. I'll be mindful of my use today.

I guess the hold to repeat input (of letters) is not used much, so not a significant or noticeable loss when replaced. I'd certainly see false positives and having to type slower as deal breakers.

False positives happen - especially in the beginning but firmwares like QMK and ZMK have all kinds of smart behaviors that can be adjusted to fit the users needs.
