OTS tunes have been used for years and years. Even my uncle who keeps asking if I'm going to "chip" my car knows that. In most cases you're probably safer with that than a custom tune.

If someone gets a tune from us in person then we are tuning, logging, monitoring and tuning some more. We make sure the car is 100% before the customer take it home. So there is no need for "logging on the way home."
In the off chance the customer sees an issue arise later on we can ask them for a datalog, just to be sure everything is OK.
However with an eTune the only way to be sure the tune is running correctly is to get a datalog. Otherwise it's guessing, and guessing with a tune can be really bad haha.
Now if you're using this to Tune you OWN car, which is the whole point of opensource really, you better be sure you can datalog
Now if you go with an OTS map (off-the-shelf), you are assuming the vendor has done enough research and tuning, and is giving you a large margin of safety to run OK on your car with zero modification. Especially if the vendor is giving you a map and not asking for a log afterwards.
That's good for some people, most actually. But be aware that a "margin of safety" means less power. That's where a custom tune comes in.
