I’ve honestly never had a single issue with it and wasn’t exaggerating when I said I use it nearly every day. I save any/every video I find useful to my NAS because I don’t trust Google not to delete the persons account for some arbitrary reason.
The only “gotcha” is sometimes downloads fail and if you don’t know to check the logs (in the top menu) then that can get confusing for new users, but usually it’s something simple like you need to update the YouTube-dl core (also just done via the menu) or you chose a download format/resolution not supported for that video.
