I understand that Record Types are generally preferred over CDTs in modern Appian development.

However, apart from plugin compatibility (some plugins only support CDTs), are there any other real advantages of using CDTs over Record Types?

In what scenarios would choosing a CDT be the better or recommended approach compared to a Record Type?

Not really. The only situation is where I only want to define a fixed data structure without storing that data to the DB. And this does not happen a lot.
