I have a 27" curved as a 2nd monitor. I like it, I honestly feel like there is more screen real estate viewable, but the footprint is about the same as my 24". I am so used to it now I don't even notice it curves.
I used to use it for the mixer, in which I noticed the curvature much more. It never really bothered me but it was something to get used to for sure. Now I use it for plugins, web browser, OBS, misc stuff. I don't notice it at all, but when I'm at home and using another monitor, it does feel much more flat, I feel like I'm looking left/right to view the screen where with the curved I do not feel I'm left/right as much if at all.
It's hard to explain...but the main thing is there are no real drawbacks for me....other than getting the cheapest one I could find and having poor image quality, ha.

34" LG monitor suspended on floating arm over the laptop. I love having this much real estate to spread things out on. the widescreen is at 3440 x 1440 , the laptop is 1920 x 1080.
The curvature looks a little exaggerated in the pic.. my fault/ in a hurry on the phone.. There are two basic curvatures in big monitors and this is the lesser of the choices.
I will say it is a Fantastic monitor for everything Reaper. That's forty tracks (at standard reaper default for reference)
the refresh is completely flicker free, Easy on my eyes, It's not so wide as to cause any eyestrain as the curve places the entire screen at an equal distance edges to middle. As Above it feels strange to go to work and use a flat panel, kind of awkward.
All the smallest fonts a very clear, and no pixelation or rough edges I can read every little FX name and every little number is perfectly clear ( I can post a high res photo very easily if you like too)
look up on Amazon if you like - LG 34UC80-B 34-Inch 21:9 Curved UltraWide QHD IPS Monitor with USB Quick Charge
with this arm - AmazonBasics Premium Single 32 Inch Monitor Stand - Lift Engine Arm Mount, Aluminum
Any specific info you're curious about lemme know!

Wow, that looks really cool Not_Here, a great setup.
I gotta ask, don't you have to look up a lot? If so doesn't it get to your neck?
Thanks Not_Here.

Acer Predator X34 here. I really like this display. The curve is barely noticeable during daily use. I used to think it was a gimmick, but for monitors this size and larger, a subtle curve actually does help keep things readable.
