The downside of an android tv box/stock is that Google maintains your OS. An update may break your functionality. For me some issue with a firmware update stopped Kodi from launching properly. It's not without workarounds - I'm running a flow with the Automate app that clears cache on launch to resolve the issue. But it can be a pain in the ass and require tinkering.
On the other hand there's not much I've not been able to sort out remotely for family using scrcpy via Tailscale, support capability is good.
