I bought a gravel bike with a microshift system years ago, it was basically the off-patent Shimano Dura Ace 10spd and it has been perfect.

eh... Less than 3 years ago, I bought a bike that came with one and it was shit. It was an entry/medium model, but it was much more shittier than the equivalent shimano/sram ones. Maybe they are better for higher end models. Maybe they improved in this last 3 years...
