I feel guard clauses/early returns end up shifting developer focus on narrowing the function operation, and not an originally happy path with some after thought about other conditions it could handle.
IME else’s also end up leading to further nesting and evaluating edge cases or variables beyond the immediate scope of happy path (carrying all that context!).
