Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers.

It's better for FPS games and worse for action games.
Don't forget about RTS, MMO and some CRPG.
And fighting games
I don't know about that, I wouldn't want to play a fighting game with standard keyboard. An ergonomic keyboard could work though. In any case from what I've seen those guys either play with a gamepad or an arcade stick.
Leverless controllers are pretty OP, you can hit both forward and back at the same time making movement inputs way faster for some moves & once you get used to it a mechanical keyboard feels about the same
It's not worse for action games if you get good.
I tried kb&m for Witcher 3 for about 5 minutes. It was miserable.
I switched between Gamepad and M/KB for inventory management because I haven't seen an Inventory yet where mouse input isn't faster.
