Toast pros:

- once set up, very easy to build, no “design” required

Toast cons:

- easy to miss

- at risk of layout issues (overlaying other information)

The tradeoff is real, but if the resources allow, I’d drop all toasts.

Generally I have treated toasts as reassurance rather than important information

Like little 'saved' notifications when clicking through tabs, or email sent after clicking a send email button that might leave you on the same page

Web sites tend to over inform you of what's happening I like toasts (though I no longer use them since they're it of fashion) simply because you can disregard them
