I said no for a few reasons.

First, I don't use Canon flashes so I am not interested in a feature that is proprietary.

Second, as it is built in, if it breaks I would be SOL.

Third, other than FW updates , upgradability to newer, more capable tech is unavailable to me.

If it breaks just put an ST transmitter in the hot shoe. But it’s not likely to break.  It would be like your WiFi radio breaking; they rarely fail.  Screens crack, shutters fail, but the solid state portions rarely fail
