> Drawbacks: Obviously the main drawback, for now, is that you need to have a wallet and use things like Metamask, but even more that adoption is still quite low and it can be hard to promote something like this at a bigger company.

I would think a major drawback is that it’s illegal in large parts of the world. Certainly under the GDPR (but I think this predates that by decades and also applies to ¿parts of? the USA), companies aren’t allowed to keep employment data around when they no longer have a use for it, so when or some time after people leave the company, the data would have to be deleted.

That’s not a feature blockchains are good at.
