The advantage of app backup is that you can restore the apps to other devices. And you can selectively backup and restore subsets of apps. Nand backups do not offer that.
Furthermore your assumption might not be true in the first place: LineageOS brings its own default recovery that offers more convenient OTA updates, but does not offer Nand backups.
Also, "custom" recoveries such as TWRP might not even support some phones that are supported by LineageOS.
