They work pretty well. The upside is they are always available. The downside is less support for software like the pi foundation has invested into. But they do a great job as a Linux board and if you use a well supported distro, you should be fine.

At one point, we had to do a project with 40ish of these things. Worked out well and we couldn't get a pi, because since 2019 they are basically impossible to order in number.
