I like that Tor works out of the box for remote access for Start9 and Umbrel, but as mentioned by others, the load times can be annoying, especially for Lightning services. Whip out your wallet to show someone how cool it is that you can be your own bank and pay someone online in a flash, only to have to wait half a minute for your wallet to load, have it time out and reload it, hoping it comes up this time...
The potential of Tor's encryption to be broken is certainly a concern. Not knowledgeable enough about their cryptography to know how much of a concern that would be compared to say the likelihood of figuring out a Bitcoin private-key based on the address visible on-chain stored on all sorts of servers all over the world, though.
I should also mention that most of my remote access for Lightning services is entirely through NWC now. At some point I would like to upgrade that to be using my own relay for communication, too.
