I just learned that the Eve Energy smart plugs transmit energy consumption information via Matter. I didn't think energy consumption information was supported in Matter yet, but it is.

This makes them incredible to use with the Home Assistant Energy dashboard.

Even tho I was hesitant for a while, I took the leap to using the Matter beta Home Assistant integration and no issues so far.

Metadata is supported in any HA supported protocol. Your concern is what?

but as the Matter standard doesn't yet support energy monitoring, users are limited to basic features like on and off and scheduling

Granted the article is almost a year old. But I just didn't realize that Matter now supports energy monitoring. Somehow I just missed that news.

Matter itself is different from data passing through HA.
