Laravel literally runs on Symfony.
So ask yourself, you I need the safety net of the opinionated framework of Laravel? Or do I have the time and energy to create my own opinionated architecture using Symfony?
Happens to me all the time with React boilerplates like MERN or Apollo stacks. You wonder if life would be easier with one, download it for a day, then realize you could have written it yourself without half the dependencies and documentation. Or on the flip side -- you're tight on time, and you get the job easier with a predefined scaffolding.
