My wife's stepfather has had one of those for more than a year (I forget the brand name, but it's Kodi-based). I told him not to be surprised if he woke up one day and all the channels were blank, but so far, so good.
They're now aware of the lag. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but it is enough that they have to turn off any kind of notification on their phone related to sports they might watch.
I don't know how people deal with even normal television lag in the age of smart phones and notifications. Even with our Tablo set up to stream OTA around the house, there's often up to a half-minute of lag time. I wish there was an easy way to reset the buffer during commercials, but the Tablo contains a lot of programming designed to maintain the stream. You have to switch channels at least twice to reset with a two-tuner model. Combine that with already-shaky feeds since the towers are 45 miles away, and you have to take what you can get.
