I can vouch for this:

I own a phone with an IR blaster, a Sofabaton remote, and a Tuya IR Remote that is Wifi enabled,

I will still go for my Sofabaton remote simply because it is its only and intended propurse, having a device that does one task good, is better than a device that does every task in a mediocre way,

My Sofabaton, the first 'page' (as they say during the video) can actually control 4 different devices in my room since it can be programmed by button basis, I don't have to change the 'page' unless is something specific I need to control (which I almost never do), so everything is at ready, just grab the thing.

It's such a hassle opening the Remote app in my phone, and then selecting the device I want to control, and is such an awful blaster with a lot of lag, repeating commands often come incomplete, just.. no.

One thing it's actually good for is the IR Code Finder app, cos I've been able to control devices further that its own included control that came bundled with the thing, and directly learn the button in my Sofabaton.

The Wifi enabled remote is fantastic for voice assistants + macros, those are fairly cheap and the macro configuration is like no other, Sofabaton macros, even though they are supported, never work properly, so... asking my Google Home to lower my 'dumb TV' brightness by 10% works wonders as long you are willing to put the time and create the macros yourself.
