My experience as well. Using an SVG as the source of an <img> element seems to have less issues, but that essentially reduces the benefit of an SVG to just a small file size image without scaling issues.

To use an SVG as an actual element, it gets way more complicated than your average Wordpress user is going to want to deal with. It's one of those very interesting formats that can do some very impressive things...that very people want/need/use.

"Without scaling issues" is a huge benefit in its own right, though. That alone is a good reason to use it.
