I would say the opposite. Ente has one huge advantage and that it is e2ee so it's a must if you are hosting someone else photos. But if you are planning to run something on your server/NAS for yourself then Immich has many advantages (that often relate to the e2ee). For example... your files are still files on the disk so less worry about something unrecoverably breaking. And you can add external locations. With Ente it is just about backing up your phone photos. Immich works pretty well as camera photo organizer.

The Ente desktop app has a continuous export function that’ll just dump everything into plain file directories.

It makes a little more sense when you’re using their cloud version, because otherwise you’re storing the data twice.
