I have a reasonably large garden and I'd never trade natural grass for synthetic, even if it meant less work - natural looks so much better with proper maintenance and it also helps with drainage and soil moisture. Synthetic ends up being expensive, it gets way too hot in the sun, and after a few years it degrades completely and you have to replace it anyway, so it doesn't really seem worth it to me.
Synthetic grass only makes sense if you want zero maintenance, because the upfront cost is really high and you lose that feeling of actually taking care of a real plant 🌱 I'd rather plant natural grass even if it's more work, way more rewarding!
It really depends on your climate and how much you're willing to spend upfront, because synthetic grass in a very hot place or with a lot of direct sun fades and deteriorates faster than people think - nobody mentions this detail but it makes a big difference in how long it lasts.
If you have small children and want a space that doesn't turn to mud after rain, synthetic grass solves that pretty well - but get ready because it really is expensive.
