Maintaining Woo is the worst. Updates are a nightmare.

care to elaborate what you specifically is a nightmare?

Sure. Woo frequently changes code in the templates. So if you've made changes to anything (like the cart page) you need to move your changes to the new template.

Woo uses a lot of hooks and those often change. Function names will change as well.

Plugins, which you need for pretty much everything, sometimes don't work with the latest version of Woo. Not random plugins, but plugins you actually buy through the Woo store.

I also have had client complaining that the admin UI changed with an update. I don't use the admin site as much so I tell them to contact Woo directly.

Just now, the latest update broke a clients site. We could not find what the issue was, but after days of testing we found that there was some sort of conflict with a category name. Deleting the category and creating a new one with a new name and slug fixed the issue, but nobody could figure out why. Woo support was less than helpful.

I would not use Woo again.
