The nurseries here use it a lot
Not my favorite, - difficult to give the right amount of fertilizer from the spring and ugly in the garden when you reuse the soil in the beds - but not as bad as the polysterene pills

A simple set up using nft and rock wool cubes,
4' light, 4'sections of eves trough side by side with a slight slope.Line up rockwool cubes in trough bottom.
At the lowest end of trough, a small reservoir is placed to hold pump and capture drips.
The nutrient filled reservoir contains a small submersable pump that pumps the nutrient to the high side of the trough where it slowly trickles down through the seedling filled rock cubes and spills into the reservoir .
No monitering devises ? just change the nutrient every few weeks
