CONS
1. Learning curve
Since Destiny 2 have a lot of content to it, you will have to learn a lot about how the game works and how your character works, in order to be effective team member. This will be essential in late game content, since fights there become way more brutal.
2. Paid game + battle pass
And a lot of different options in the store. Battle pass rewards arent limited to cosmetics, but contain boosts that allow you to get weapon exp faster, crafting and upgrade materials and so on.
So basically if you want to play on even ground with others you need to consider getting battle pass for 10 usd per season or so.
Verdict. Is Destiny 2 good?
Yes! its a fantastic game, more RPG than FPS and it have great story and combat. If you never played it before grab f2p version and play it for a couple of days to decide if its worth it for you.
But yeah, even without battle pass you will have to buy expansions in order to enjoy latest game content.
