The upside is not relying on telecommunications, but the downside is one trip and they don’t trip again until they are manually reset by a tech.

Presumably at least one fire truck shows up so they can reset it.
In some cities including Boston itself, it’s not the Fd that resets it but the fire alarm company of record(I work for one) who also gets a call. The possible issue is if another alarm comes in before the tech arrives it will not report to the FD again.
