I think it would be a decent (but not great) option if you mostly are on full hookup sites.
Reality is most people don't boondock, particularly among newbies. With unlimited fresh water and gray tank open to the sewer, you just turn it on and let it run.
Heck a lot of folks don't even use the onboard shower but use the bath house, so really only maybe used for doing dishes.
On smaller trailers, it can also help trim weight (not without other compromises). A 6 gal hot water tank full of water is likely going to weigh close to 100lb. A tankless, is likely under 10lb. Some small trailers only have 700-1000lb of payload, so 100lb is a big chunk of weight available for payload.
Having had one on our boat, not a fan of them.
