I’d rather use Gutenberg for a short and shiny post/page and Classic for a long, thoughtful one, not the other way around.

So many reasons – UX with long pages in Gutenberg is bad, browser performance degraded, whitespace is wasted from block padding, there are still counter-intuitive actions like headline formation or quotes or lists that aren’t nearly as obvious.

Editing a shortcode in the text tab? Really? Like shortcodes were ever rendered in the wysiwyg screen :)

Last time I checked most long content in medical, legal, book writing is not written in fancy block screens. Let’s not speak on behalf of the world and put artificial labels on the Classic editor.
