TBH, the Halo is a product that has grown on me. The in-store experience does not do it justice. It is great for listening to music.

The Halo still a viable choice?

It's very nice even without home automation for pure audio control around the house. No "where's my phone", just a central HALO on every floor is great and comfortable.
BUT: Please add Alarm control of supported products. Would be nice to just choose e.g. Beosound 1, and turn alarm on/off with the Beoremote HALO, too.
Hopefully Bang & Olufsen has made it reliable this time!
Not as unreliable (mechanical) as the Essence remots that become stiff or leaking grease. That's nothing but a shame for their brand!

The BLI is a joke. You have to pay for the PRO version before you can write your own plugins. Way to knee cap any community driver development B&O. I have half a mind to write a replacement that can run on a raspberry pi. As none of the communication is encrypted (a bit brave considering the state of IOT) it is easy to reverse engineer their APIs. I have a partial software reimplementation of the BeoSound Moment that their app is more than willing to talk to.
