I used tethered shooting in the studio when doing tabletop pack shots that didn't move. It was pointless for more dynamic shooting situations. The larger screen gave me a better view of what I had taken and the ability to change settings for the next shot. But if the angle or focus needed changing or a product looked odd, I still had to visit the camera /set.
Similarly shooting fungi on the forest floor. Remote control enabled me to see what I was getting without digging my chin into the forest floor. But a tilting LCD can give you most of what you really need.
It's very easy to forget we hadn't got these luxuries back in film days and still manage.
I have never liked the idea of transmitting my photos....be that to a cloud or a remote capture device. I have seen many corruptions over the years that if I had just changed the card wouldn't have lost me shots.
So I guess I am old fashioned and say there has to be a real benefit for adopting new technology. Too often it's one step forward and half back.
