Restore iTunes vs iCloud 2018

[TwoBytes]

My last knowledge the only advantage a restore from iTunes will give you is:

-restore messages (not relevant any more with iCloud messages?)
-Restore app layout, pages and folders (is this outdated or will an iCloud restore the layout)

Any more advantages disadvantages?

I used an iCloud backup to move from an iPhone 7 to iPhone X last week, and it restored my app layout, pages and folders exactly as they were before.
