I’ve heard they’re better for pollinators, are more drought resistant, and are easier to maintain.
It’s hard to see a downside.
Has anyone here made the change? How’d it go?

I’ve added clover into some of my lawn. It took an area that was dry, dusty, and worn and has made it lush and green with no other changes to lawncare. The grass in areas with clover added is looking better too.
I used a micro clover I got off Amazon. It took until the next year for the clover to really get going. The first year it was a bit thin.
Oh neat! you should post a pic here we would love to see that! How and when did you lay the seed? and can it tolerate being walked on? Also I’d love to know if you have dogs and if it can stand up to that kind of ‘abuse’?
I scattered it by hand in August. I think I may have used a metal rake to try and score the dirt a bit so it could take hold. I watered for a couple weeks then stopped.
One dog. She likes to run through this particular patch. Along the specific path she runs it took a bit longer to grow but then has held up well.
It’s so pretty! and you can see in the top right corner just how much greener it is than the old patchy grass. Great job! I with I could zoom in but beehaw won’t let me do that (just me?)
