Just fyi, NIST is currently recommending against this flow. (I recently gave a talk about 2FA at BSidesSF, mentioned magic links via email, and after the talk a person from NIST came and pointed out that's against their recommendations.)
I personally believe they're taking more the "business" point of view, where users may have a business email which may not be very secure or always under their control.
For consumers I think it's ok, especially considering most of them use gmail. However this slows down login compared to other approaches like OAuth, so I'm not sure how applicable this may be at scale.
