Is Clean Architecture actually good? What's your experience?

Hi!

I've never read any of Uncle Bob's books. But I have taken interest in "Clean Architecture" as it seems like a good solution to make mid to large sized projects simple to understand and maintain.

I think MVC gets too much coupling and fails at larger projects, same with n-tier. But I'm not sure about anything right now (software design is a very complicated problem after all).

So I was wondering if you friends who have used Clean Architecture in production can share your knowledge and experience with me about this design?

Is it actually good and worth investing in?

Footnote:

I'm especially weighing this architecture because Uncle Bob's writings are really hit and miss. I don't see him as a master or guru so I take everything he says with a grain of salt.

I read language specific books for learning a language, and I've been reading Grokking simplicity by eric normand which is great for functional programming.

I'm an ok programmer (I started 7 years ago) but I'm dwelling on software design more and more, as my roles go more into tech lead and such.

I would love to know more about software design more and find better approaches to it, so if you know any good, related metareial, I would appretiate you sharing them with me :)

Seems more something for larger frameworks to me.
