Personally I prefer using e-ink panels for my home DIY projects because I'm sensitive to light polution - I don't want half my home to constantly be glowing at me from every direction. E-ink panels are not emissive, so they don't have this problem.
I'm even pretty annoyed at spurious LEDs. I appreciate for example that Sonos speakers let you turn off their status LEDs. It just makes the ambiance calmer.
The exception is very interactive stuff like https://hackaday.io/project/190477-hyelicht where I used an LCD for the embedded touchscreen in the shelf, but powered down unless you touch it.
