Well, as you say, the purpose is performance.

Personally I avoid cell-based widgets until I really, really need them,
and then push back on putting anything in the cells except really
simple functionality (showing text).

For example, a "dashboard" table of, say, employees, where each row has
interactive functionality to toggle/update/whatever aspects of the
employee, to me is just too hard to implement as cells. And it probably
doesn't make sense from a UX perspective to show 1000 of these
more-than-just text rows on the screen at a time anyway.

So, as you say, if you have <20 rows, or can filter/page the results
down to 20 rows anyway, just go with regular widgets.
