I'm certainly willing to update my opinion about Affinity's capabilities, but I was unable to complete a review of it myself when I tested their final beta a couple of years ago.
The first issue I had was completely wacky colour shifts when I imported a file from Lightroom. I assume they have fixed that by now. But the utter deal-killer was that although you can configure it as an external editor to Lightroom and it will import a layered TIFF, it cannot write a layered TIFF (or a PSD) back to Lightroom. So if I used it as an external editor I lost all my carefully constructed layers when the file was flattened to save it back. That is 100% useless to me as my files often make a few round trips to the external editor while I make revisions, or in the case of long retouch, save checkpoints or continue editing later on. This is till the case as far as I can tell from googling.
