Steam link is nice for set top boxes like Android TV boxes, but with Moonlight there is a better solution given the backend now also is opensource and supports non NVidia cards! (I think the backend is called sunshine). NVidia has given up the development of its streaming backend given that Opensource alternatives took over the protocol, which now makes it a safe bet as well, because NVidia probably never will offer a C&D on those projects for reverse engineering their protocol anymore, which was the biggest fear regarding Moonlight and Sunshine in the past!
The only plus Steam link as protocol nowadays has is that it still is an integrated solution which works ootb, Latency etc... are better via moonlight and sunshine nowadays!
  

Ah also forget local streaming also is nice if you have a handheld and wnat full visual fidelity without any comppromises. I occasionally use this path on the Steam Deck with the PC running in the background (or the PS5 for this matter, there are similar solutions to stream from a playstation)
But again for PC -> PC based handheld sunshine+moonlight is superior to the Steam Link solution!
