A portable inflator of decent quality is more convenient to use. I use my Ryobi 18v portable inflator for everything instead of my portable tank compressor (like the one at HD) or instead of my shop size compressor. I don't know about the Astro.
With these kind of compressors, you have to carry it out, string an extension cord or a long hose to reach the car, power it up and let the air fill the tank and then connect the hose to start to inflate the tire. Then you have to disconnect from the tire periodically to check the pressure. With a portable inflator, you just connect it and press the go button. My Ryobi lets you set the psi limit and stops there, and some other brands do the same. With tank compressors you have to stop and check, stop and check and then finally you're done. Then when done you have to unplug the cord, coil it up, unplug the hose and coil it up and put everything away. Good luck with all of that if you live in an apt.

Is this good for topping off car tires every once in a while? I assume it's more reliable than the Astro AI portable inflator?
Yes and no.

Basically a toy for inflating balls. 0.65 SCFM is useless for air tools. Extremely loud and starts overheating within 10 minutes. Save your money for a decent compressor
Would this be okay for painting a shed? Obviously it can't paint a whole house but...

I think some of what you are saying is use specific. Some users will fill it then carry it out to the tire. For others the tire is close enough to an outlet to use the thing plugged in.
If you have to carry it then 3 gallons at 120 psi isn't going to fill many tires and may require a few trips if you have larger tires (most cars do these days). If that is your use case I would suggest avoiding this. However, if you can plug this in near the mower that needs air each week, should work ok.
A potentially make or break could be does it leak down? Many compressors will hold air for a long time if the use removes the hose and/or turns the regulator to 0 psi. That's really nice as air in the tank means you don't have to wait to start filling tires. But if the 3 gallon tank is empty each time you use it, well you have to listen to it while waiting for pressure to build so you can start airing your tire.

Airless for latex unless you thin the hell out of it. Then you get more overspray. And this is way too small anyway. I painted several vehicles during my high school years with a 10 gallon and it was often a struggle.

So a long winded way of saying get the 18v charger
The only thing I can think of that one of these small air compressors could be useful for is to use with an air nozzle to blow stuff out with if there's no other option. Can't do that very well with a battery powered inflator like the Ryobi or such.
Not good for paint sprayers, not good for air tools, and a general PIA to drag stuff around and connect it all to pump up a tire or football then disconnect everything and put it all away when done.
