I mean, it's an alternative for Bandcamp's _software_. It's not an alternative for Bandcamp's _infra_, and that's a pretty significant cost-and-complexity center for a new band or solo artist that just wants their music out there for purchase.

Still, I think getting viable alternative software is a huge checkbox on the path to getting good alternatives. Now there just needs to be an affordable hosting company that'll run Faircamp for up-and-coming artists.
