well the older dante cards don’t include anything but routing… and are limited.
the newer Nuage systems are pretty sweet when using the ENTIRE package…
with that said its very “niche” where personally Madi (RME in particular) is still the way to go for most.
we have seen a good number of products over the yrs and nothing has yet to touch madi.
I was doing 192 I/O live systems 9 yrs ago via madi.

I will say that the network protocol has finally come of age but its not really a cost saver when you get into high I/O counts.

the answer more depends on strictly live use and having to route multiple directions or studio use as well…
