All this negative sentiment around the App Router like in this post made me really scared to adopt it.
I've just been working with it for the past 2 months and absolutely love it. The biggest reason being the ability call functions directly from server- or client-side code! You basically only need to write API endpoints now for externally-facing services. Saves so much time and boilerplate...
Yes it is more complex than Pages Router. And while I'm a staunch advocate for simplicity where possible, I do think the tradeoff is worth it for new projects. It just takes a bit getting used to. The negativity feels a bit like hooks all over again tbh...
