I'd also add 3) It requires Python and various Python libraries. At least the CLI tool does.
In some circumstances installing Python and a bunch of libraries is not going to be a big issue (e.g., in desktop installs), but for many server installations that is an unnecessary new burden.
(To be fair, Lukas opened his email stating that for minimal installations sd-netwokd is a more fitting alternative. I just wanted to explicitly mention one reason supporting that statement.)
