Ran Flux for a month. Reverted to n8n. Core issue: Flux's abstraction layer became a bottleneck for complex workflows.
Benchmarked a multi-step data pipeline:
* Fetch from REST API
* Transform with custom JS
* Branch logic
* Write to PostgreSQL
* Notify on failure
Flux's visual editor struggled with the custom JS step. Had to drop to YAML, which defeated the purpose. n8n handled it natively.
Performance comparison (10k record processing):
```
Flux (Cloud): 142 seconds
n8n (Self-hosted): 89 seconds
```
Pricing also a factor. n8n's open-core model wins for high-volume use cases.
