I don’t trust them compared to wire nuts. In a full box it seems too easy to accidentally lift a lever and have a loose connection.
For the same reason, push in connections really don’t do it for me. If the wires can move I do not like it. Hard twists with lineman’s pliers then a wire nut so tight you need pliers to remove is the only way I’m doing business. Maybe unnecessary for 2 gang boxes, but if you’ve got 4 or 6… I’d rather do overkill.
Only exception, the waygos are nice in ceiling fan installs when you have plenty of space and no risk of loosening.
I get that. But I can count on my missing fingers the number of times I’ve come across a bad connection on twist connectors. I’ve had zero in ten years with wagos. Anecdotal, sure. But personally I swear by them. They’re worth the cost.
I agree on the push connectors though. Those are dumb.

I’ve opened plenty of boxes where one tap and the loose wire nut comes toppling off. I’ve yet to have that happen with Wago.
I’ve knocked a Wago lever or two loose while assembling, but its so easy to visually tell when the connection is bad, its basically a non-issue.
