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?

Running it on a bare Pi, HAOS, imho you get the most performance, and support if it goes wrong.

Running on more powerful hardware (x64 host), VM all the way. It's so much easier when you can snapshot, move VMs around, and split out components when needed.
