The video goes into the pros and cons.

Pros (for not using DD):

    - You use less resources since you don't need a separate DD app running
    - It's more close to the experience you'd have on a production server which wouldn't run DD
Cons (by not using DD):

    - If you like having a UI, you won't have it
    - You can't use Docker extensions if that's something you want
    - You have to install Docker in each WSL 2 instance instead of checking a checkbox in the DD UI
Neutral (in either case):

    - You can still access things on localhost without DD
    - You can still run K8s directly in WSL 2 without DD using Kind and other tools
    - Everything works the same, there's no limitations around Docker's core feature set
    - Performance is really good (including volumes) as long as your files are in WSL 2's file system with or without DD
