I love it but it is mostly up my alley for my gameplay style.
I play occults, I play fantasy, and play/set up characters.
Dynasties help with collective autonomy, but I have made 1 Sim dynasties also. If a dynasty is Nature-Loving, and Gardening is a set skill, but a Sim Hates Gardening they will not autonomously garden, which is very nice!
I like that a Noble can do daily duties, or go off, and do whatever they want, and still get paid, but they can get demoted! But if you do not want them to get promoted they can't. Locking Sims in titles such as Count Vladislaus Straud.
I managed to do the Anansi Trials, I honestly recommend this for a mischievous, mean or shifty Noble Sims. Because it only changes favour and I had most my nobles favour with commoners except my mischievous/disruptive one. I completed the trials solely to snatch the Simcalibur because my Sim would never in character side with the commoners—to complete the sword collection.
I love the scandal system, and I honestly thought I'd disable it. Social Puppeteer Aspiration was really fun to do.
For storytellers, dynasties have can have you "Ask permission to marry...", you can "Duel for the Heart..." (if the Sim is high enough in the bar/has romantic satisfaction if LS with the same Sim), and it will put the loser's romance bar to "It's Complicated..." without jealousy/mean interactions/reputation lost for the one you are fighting for. Which helps if you like want to have love triangles, but the center doesn't initiate, because you don't want them in trouble with romance issues.
I never buy kits, but I love the Tea Time Solarium Kit, so I am glad I bought this during the LE time.
As for the negatives, I'd read Sims 4 Royal and Legacy negative thread. | EA Forums - 13095203, which I am also pretty vocal in. And also check out the Bug Forums for the current top bugs on R&L.
If this is not your playstyle, and have little to no plans to use the Noble Career, Dynasties or Scandals, you probably could wait a year for 50%, and hopefully all the major bugs would be fixed by then.
