Hot reload basically just doesn’t work. Prototype in blueprints and do hard calculation, replication relevant stuff, and algorithms in cpp.

But the batteries included are almost always useful. If you don’t really know what you’re doing, you’re likely to make something that sort of works but fails to consider edge cases the engine designers have dealt with other time through trial and error.

Hot reload doesn't, but live coding does.

I disagree with your take - do as much as possible in C++, and expose functions to be called from Blueprint/UMG.
