I can speak to this a little bit, as I've been running a game in Talespire for a couple months now. It's very good! Still in early access, so there's a lot of stuff that's still a little rough around the edges or features that are planned but not out yet, but even so, I'm happily running a game that I can craft beautiful settings in that my player's seem to enjoy.

Remarkably, it's probably more reliable in terms of performance and stability than Roll20.

Even though it can be a little more work sometimes building in 3D instead of 2D, 1.) you'd be surprised how quickly you can put stuff together once you get a little practice under your belt and 2.) there's already a ton of great builds out there, and the developer's have made it SUPER easy to import stuff (literally just copy and paste for "slabs" of content, or you can share entire boards with a URL). Plus, being in 3D makes it a lot easier to handle things like flying, verticality in map design, and just generally living in a 3D world in a way that I haven't found with most VTTs
