I'm excited for the roadmap of better sharing, group management and improved ownership. Unfortunately in its current state having a shared "family" library of pictures next to personal pictures is only possible with various workarounds (and all of those have significant downsides). Until then I'm just using it for myself, but it's been great so far.
Indeed, it's the top issue for number of comments: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/12614
That and this one are really what keeps me stuck in "evaluating": https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/165
Right now, immich just points at a read-only copy of my pictures for trying things out. Nextcloud copies the pictures off device and then deletes them locally -necessary for family who always take long sports videos.
