I'd say Yeah. I use and pay for their Apps platform for a few personal projects. Its cheap (like $5/mo/app). It reminds me enough of Heroku that I'm happy. The built-in CI is kind of slow. But it just works and requires relatively low configuration, especially when compared to AWS/GCP/Azure.

There are simpler, more specialized products, but I think DO strikes a really good balance. For example, I've hosted static sites on Cloudflare Pages, which is a solid product, but its also rather unconfigureable; I was running into issues with their built-in CI even using a static site generator which wasn't on their supported list.
