I've been using this unofficial client for years, so it's been a while since I tried the PWA version. In my use, this client brings 2 things missing from PWA: notification count in the tray area, and respecting default browser for opening links.
I thought I could get by without a tray icon, but it turned out to be too cumbersome to have to explicitly open the window and make sure no one messaged me while I was at lunch, or whatever.
I use firefox for my main browser; and teams doesn't work great there. So I have to use Edge or Chrome. But then, when someone sends a link in Teams, it opens in that browser. This unofficial client acts like an actual standalone app and opens links in my default browser. Now if they sent a link that lands on some other office365 thing, there is about a 15% chance that just won't work ;)
But yeah, if you are able to mostly avoid this POS, then those 2 things likely don't matter and PWA is fine.
For notifications, the Administrator needs to enable the NotificationsAllowedForURLs policy, which automatically allows notifications for Teams on the web:

There's an open-source Chrome extension (also works for Chrome OS) to show Notification Badges for MS Teams PWA (Progressive Web Apps):
