I’ve used various yubikeys in personal environments over the past 7 years and found them to be a gimmick rather than a useful tool.

They are quite versatile and can be used for many different use cases which is part of the problem in my opinion. While not a total dummy, I found yubikey software and documentation to be difficult to use and configure and a pain to find how to setup the key for common scenarios. This brings me back to ideal users, probably corporate use where a dedicated team can support users for the specific use cases.
