I think Electron/crossplatform tools are great at very early stages in order to test whether the product can work. You can quickly put together a working cross platform application to start testing features.

I am a noob at startups (working on some of my own ideas) but I almost always start with the most simple set ups (zapier + google forms tbh) to try some process with 5-10 people. If that seems promising I'll build a app over a weekend/5 days using flutter, and then get that into people's hands. I've not used electron, but at least my thinking is that if I can validate an idea and come up with a good business model, I can grow to a point that I can hire actually competent engineers to build the best experience for the users.

The primary goal (at least as it seems to me) is to solve some problem that people are comfortable making some tradeoffs(mostly unnoticed by normal people, let's be honest otherwise they wouldn't even want to try a bare bones google forms + email) while providing far more value to them.

Ultimately these are all tools, use the right one where it matters until it needs to be upgraded or changed.
