I've been using Starlink while RVing around all of North America for four months every summer. This is my third summer doing so. Historically, I've bashed on it a fair bit, because it's not the panacea people think it is for on-the-go Internet.
It's gotten way better, though. The main problem with using it on the go is that campgrounds have trees and Starlink hates trees. If you're in one place, that problem doesn't exist, so long as you have a clear northern sky view.
The disconnection thing is a non-issue. I use it for video meetings every day at work. It never disconnects for more than a second or two, and I almost never notice it. Connections always recover on their own and almost instantly.
I've got a couple people on my team in remote parts of Canada and Chile and they both use Starlink to work remotely with my teams every day (zoom, slack, github, etc.). It's been great for the past year or so. Haven't seen any issues with our Zoom meetings.
I wonder if it's geographically variable. How often do satellites switches happen?
I've been on Starlink since it was first commercially available (I got lucky) so I've seen a lot of changes over the years, and this did used to happen pretty regularly, but it has improved quite a bit. I don't know if Starlink fixed it or if Zoom did, but it's much better. Google Meet has handled these hiccups like a champ for a while and has gotten so good it seems like magic.
Yes, it one of the best thing that has happened in many, many years, excluding the birth of kids. It made living where we live viable in an age of remote meetings.
