My company’s main app is built with ionic. Started with v 1.x and is now on 4.11. I love it but, our app was mostly aimed at mobile. It has since become much more desktop focused and we often have to create our own components. (Which is really easy using Stenciljs, also from ionic). Here’s some things you’ll need to work out:
Datepickers. The ones provided by ionic are strictly for mobile. I think they are planning to do a desktop version but I have waited 4 years for that.
IE 11 support. Forget it. Luckily it is less and less important but if you need I wouldn’t bother.
Desktop style menus and lists. Possible to create but is not included.
Ionic are improving dekstop features but it still mostly aimed at mobile. If possible, try creating one of the most desktop centric parts of your app and see how far you get. If mobile use is not important at all you might not get many benefits from using ionic.
