It's helpful for privacy, but we aren't doing anything major when traveling typically. What's really nice is the on-the-go ad blocking through Pi-Hole no matter where we are or what device is connected. And it's using the ad blocking lists I have curated over the years for our Pi-Hole, so it beats just trying to use a separate service/addon on each device we take with us.
They have definitely come a long way on the firmware stability and passing along captive portals.

For personal travel, I just use an old Android phone for Wifi-Sharing if available or Mobile Hotspot for mobile data. Then, have the end devices themselves connect to VPN.

I also use this hooked up to my Ubiquiti (Unifi) UDM-SE as a failover. If my main internet goes down, all I have to do is open Personal Hotspot on my iPhone, the Beryl connects to it within a minute, then feeds the UDM-SE. Saves having to reconnect a few streaming devices around the house for a few minutes to a few hours for the outage. Has been working great!
