I love Octoprint. The only downside I've run into is that suddenly I've lost all of the smarts the printer had. It didn't seem like that was much of a downside, but for instance the Prusa MK3s could recover from a power loss automatically and resume right where it left off, but once Octoprint was added, that was gone.
But on the other hand, suddenly I've got remote access, permissions, cameras, all sorts of plugins for timelapses and bed level monitoring and all sorts of things. It's generally a great trade-off.
I do wish it had better support for mobile devices. It's weirdly hard to get a Raspberry Pi at the moment, but a bunch of folks have an Android or iPhone a few generations back with a cracked screen or whatever that would do a great job. There are some options, like Octo4a, but they've got some rough edges.
