What's Good
Theme development with hot reload changed the game. App development handles the OAuth tunnel. Hydrogen scaffolding works out of the box. Environment management simplifies working with multiple stores.
The Catch
Occasional bugs with authentication flows. Resource usage can be heavy. Some advanced workflows still require manual setup.
Verdict
Not optional—just install it and move on.
