I've tris Mosh several times and never found any tangible benefit in any scenario.

Close laptop and it's fine. Open laptop next day at work and your session is still there, it just reconnects itself. It's quite satisfying.
A small but noticeable qol improvement when managing servers on the other side of the world. Reliable but fundamentally high latency connection made for annoying ssh, while mosh made it feel like localhost.
Doesn't SSH drop if the connection drops? I keep my connections with Mosh/Eternal Terminal open for weeks or even months at a time, when devices are going in and out connectivity many times.

Mosh is a lifesaver

It's great for SSH from my phone. The connection is just there whenever I unlock my phone.
Yes, but I've also found that I can have ssh open from phone for days to my home computer, if I've established it over a VPN (in my case wireshark).

I suppose this didn't always use to be the case, though.
