Well written! I find that from a maintenance perspective FBVs tend to make life easier. For a codebase that isn't touched every week it is a lot easier to unwrap what a FBV is doing when you don't have to refresh your mental model of the CBV hierarchy at the same time. Also, adding types somehow ends up being less complicated than with FBVs. It's all too easy to dig yourself into a type complexity hole with custom protocols and whatnot when you start embellishing the CBVs with e.g. your own mixins.
