To be fair, "the licensing isn't completely miserable like their other product" isn't exactly a selling point.

My two cents from what I've seen (note mainly see GSuite sie of things).. You can get much more productivity & actual collaboration with G Suite, dependent on a few factors.

One, there has to be total buy-in @ the executive level because you most likely need to completely re-think how work gets done across every function. Often, we do what we've been doing and don't see the full picture because of that existing perspective.

So that requires a legit G Suite partner to help execute change management as for O365 I imagine. It's not so much a risk unless you do it for the wrong reasons; They've done it enough times to have a proven migration formula. Saving licensing costs for example should be on the bottom of your considerations because that more or less evens out and becomes irrelevant.
