It's saving you from an O(M²) amount of device-to-device rclone and the consequent duplication of storage space used.

I specifically mentioned mounting (https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/ which may use some additional storage space depending on the caching configuration) whereas you seem to be talking about mirroring the data in the cloud and on other devices.
From what I understand it's their friendly interface that differentiates them from RClone mount. I've only read their documentation but otherwise I can't see any benefit and only the risk of getting involved with a less tested tool.
You still need to manage O(M²) rclone mounts.

The promise of Spacedrive is to have O(M) setup once, and then be able to access all files from all devices.
