This may just be me, but having just finished a large family archival project of my own, this sort of video is exactly the sort I wouldn't have included. The simpler, more candid, more off-the-cuff images and videos were gold. A drone by definition has setup and teardown time and is impossible to ignore for those being photographed. Ethically, drones also break Kant's universalizability principle.

To each their own I guess. The setup and teardown for the newer DJI drones is quite miniscule, IMO. Even for the Mini 3 it's no more than 2 minutes to set up. Usually I'll do it while we are just enjoying/taking in a sight. Most of our destinations involve hiking so it works perfectly with a break and some rest. This shot, for example (00:02:04 mark) really captures the moment my wife and I were standing alone on this massive breakwater in a way that nothing else could: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eixbTpEeVwg&t=124 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eixbTpEeVwg&t=124 I don't know how I could otherwise capture the full experience of that moment and place in a photograph or on a handheld video device.
