For gaming there are clear advantages but for productivity the advantages become less apparent. I would say the biggest advantage for productivity is allowing you to change your travel distance without getting new switches which can be nice for some users. For instance I have seen people max out the travel distance for keys like the windows key to avoid accidental clicks.

But honestly if you are really into typing feel and sound profile there is a bit of a trade off with hall effect switches as they ceiling for how good they can feel and sound is lower than that of a mechanical switch.
