From a purely mechnical point of view I don't like hex pickups that rely on double sided tape to stay in place. There's a few after market brackets for the Roland GK units that do a good job of securing the pickup, maybe Fishman (or another third party) could look into that.

I've used a lot of guitar to MIDI systems going back to the 1990s and believe me, it's a problem that will never be 100% solved. I've got logical edit presets set up in Cubase to automatically filter out short notes and double triggers but even so there's a lot of work to be done manually editing every take. It's not like you can plug in any hex pickup and play perfect piano parts into a DAW, they're tricky to get used to and still very glitchy.

So while this looks like a decent quality guitar to MIDI product I won't be rushing to buy one. Plus it seems to be USB only, no use for live work, assuming you're brave enough to even try playing a MIDI guitar part live. The Roland GR and GI series would be a better option for triggering external synth units live.
