They are pretty well tested as of today (now that multiple vendors respect it during node upgrade), but now they’re relatively under featured for the next set of problems:

1. No way to signal that the workload is ready to accept traffic but not ready for disruption (such as an async background refill)

2. No way to provide backpressure over a time window, vs just instantaneous (ie during a rolling node upgrade PDB doesn’t prevent you from being moved multiple times)

3. No way for an admin and workload owner to coordinate on the amount of disruption a particular disruption will cause and discriminate between light and heavy (restart on node, recreate on node, move across node)

But yes, everyone with a nominally HA workload should have a PDB.
