I have a combi oven. I’m very pleased with mine. Mine is a Neff and you have to have the door closed when grilling. Not sure this is the same for all combi microwaves.
I’m not sure I could cope with this as my only oven. It depends on how much you need to cook at any one time. I also have a single oven/grill.

Went to put my oven on to grill some bacon for tea. Heard a strange crackling noise and I looked into the top oven. The element was about to burst into flames. I hastily turned it off!
I don't often use the top oven/grill, but it's very useful for Christmas. I'm not sure if the element can be replaced as the oven is about 20 years old, and is probably obsolete now.
Have any of you bought a new double oven recently, if so which would you recommend.
I also wondered if an oven/ microwave combi would fit in the space.
