Anyone who gets a transplant needs to take immunosuppressants for the rest of their life (except some older patients with liver transplants many years post transplant).

In general for many patients, immunosuppressants have relatively little impact on daily life.

Many immunosuppressed patients will disagree. Viruses hit harder and can often require antibiotics (not a good idea long term). And Covid/Flu/Noro is a constant risk to immunosuppressed people.
