I use CoAP in my small DIY projects (ESP8266 mostly for now)… but sometimes I wish I used MQTT, because with the broker model you can put your device in deep sleep and only wake up occasionally, saving power. On the other hand the REST server model lets me adjust polling frequency on the client side, without storing any config in the device…
