I think I prefer having to tile my windows with Super+Arrow keys to be honest. I doubt Hyprland will know what I run in the different terminal windows and therefore can't automagically tile them in the quarters I want them.
But I haven't tried it, been too satisfied with KDE Plasma to look further at Wayland desktops.
Personally, I found it worth playing around with. I cared less than I thought where I had to move my eyeballs to, once I didn't have to make the decision anymore.
And automatic tiling can also enable workflows that just don't make sense with manual tiling, for example master-stack-layout where basically one window takes up half the screen and the other windows share the other half, and then you swap out which one's the big window as you see fit.
But I also wouldn't have written all that, if I didn't have a way that you can easily try it out: You can add automatic tiling into KDE Plasma via Kwinscripts. Personally, I'm using Krohnkite: https://store.kde.org/p/2144146
