Currently rewriting an android app that had a cpp .so for its main functionality.

It's a really great bit of kit. However I'd say also requires a bit more "up front" learning if like me you've avoided js as much as possible.

But the whole toolchain is so smooth and simple.

Then of course I'd intend to build for iOS. Not even looked into that yet

Yes Android in general has improved a lot in the last 3 years (imo). What drove me to Flutter was not having enough time to do both Android and iOS.

I've also found doing animations and prototyping with UI ideas to be much much easier and faster in flutter than in Android.
