It's really great for exactly that use case, creating lots of internal dashboards from scratch. Part of how it makes it really easy is that you don't go through all the normal dev practices, and will normally connect directly to your datastores as well as any api endpoints your service provides. This creates a huge amount of deeply hidden coupling.
You'll also inevitably need to go beyond the functionality that retool offers, at which point their development experience really breaks down, and you'll have to either come up with some bespoke workflow to integrate complex custom components, or migrate away.
Despite all this I really like it as a tool, it just needs to be approached with care.
