This is my biggest reservation for using SS. Inbound to the airport, they're great.

Where I use to live (They are very new to the Atlanta Market, so have not tried them here), I would mostly use it inbound to the airport, Generally I was the last pickup.

On the way home I would find the wait to long, even with a reservation, it did not seem to mean anything, you had to wait for enough to fill the van, or They seem to need the Van to do a return trip and start a pickup cycle again.

So often I would, get a car service from airport to home, They company I used was one step above a mom/pop, they would track your flight, and have a car in the Cell Lot, a quick call when on curb, they drive by in a un-maked car Pickup and go.

I suspect SS is going to get beaten up quite a bit in the markets that allow Uber.

I use them pretty routinely. At very busy airports, I've never had to wait for more than ~10 minutes to get a full van, and they can usually load the vans so there are multiple passengers at each hotel, so fewer stops (this is especially true if you are heading to/from the main tourist/hotel district). At smaller airports, or airports that serve more suburban/less dense areas, the waits can take longer.
