I tried using Qubes as a daily driver for a couple of weeks, and wrote up my experiences:

Overall an impressive and surprisingly well functioning software, given what it does.

Unfortunately - which I didn't write in the post yet, should do - is that I felt I had to switch back to a normal distro again because of a combination of a couple of annoyances:

- The need to manually redirect the USB-keyboard to each qube

- The fact that I couldn't get Debian-based Qubes to respect the font size settings

- The overall relative slowness of the system, causing some already slow software to be even slower

- The last straw: Inability to run Virtualbox VMs in Qubes (which I use to create some course content etc).

As others said, you don't need to redirect the keyboard if you don't use a USB qube.

Points 2 and 3 you're right about.

You can convert virtualbox VMs to qubes hvms[1] although it requires a bit of CLI work.
