Never worked with panels, it was just before my time when starting with Drupal I suppose. I learned to use Context, display suite and features with Drupal 6 and 7 which were far more predictable. But within 1-2 years working with those modules, it was time to move on with Drupal 8.
I'm not a fan of layout builder, I use Paragraphs instead which can be used with Layout Paragraphs.

Just starting to become familiar Drupal with work projects, updating to 10, hence the question.
What are the drawbacks of Layout Builder that you see? The fact content is not indexable & searchable?

Do you mean the content is not indexable and searchable withing Drupal?
Layout Builder is a sitebuilder solution. Layout Parapraph is designed for content editing solutions.
My clients don't build their site themself, I provide them the tools to do content editing. Layout Paragraph is more self-explanatory in use. With Layout Builder I see clients having troubles with managing sections and the properties displayed in a sidebar.
From an architectual point of view, working with paragraphs feels much more logic than blocks (used by Layout Builder).
Don't hesistate to ask for help while discovering Drupal more and more ;-)
