Significance of Power automate

Question

My understanding regarding the power of Microsoft's power automate is its predefined connectors that helps us to connect with multiple Microsoft as well as third party applications like github etc., its ability to provide nested condition control (relatable to if...else, switch) and that it provides a count of 500 actions that could be performed in a single workflow.

On the other hand , power automate's premium features seems to available only on subscription(eg., if we want to integrate with SQL server),however its basic version includes integration with only Microsoft's applications.

I would like to know whether it is a wise decision to migrate the current workflows in an existing application to Power automate in general(the upsides and downsides of it)

Thanks in advance for your time :)
