The biggest disadvantage is library code inefficiency in LabVIEW FRC, but we fixed most of that this year.

LabVIEW is also heavily used in test and industrial automation, especially where complicated software is needed for a one-of-a-kind unit. I know a guy who used to professionally work with LV FPGA to evaluate and test high-speed SPI IMUs and ASICs.
We used LabView in recent years for the driver station visuals so we could put in crosshairs and make things look a lot smoother; we didn't use it for the actual robot code, though.
