Rebel T7i and a Sigma 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS lens

My brother is thinking about buying/upgrading his 15 yr old Rebel to a new T7i for all the right reasons, mainly driven by low light performance. I shoot a 80D, but don't know  a lot about the T7i or the Sigma lenses. He is looking at the Sigma 18-300 as a general purpose walk around lens. He will shoot primarily in jpeg.  He may shoot some video.

So, a couple of questions.

Does this Sigma lens work with the Live View mode ? (I have some Tamrons that don't)

Is anyone using this combo of camera and lens? Are you happy with it? Does it perform as the specs indicate that it should?

Any pictures you have posted or could reference would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance.
