Advantage on initiative is powerful. That said, this is also in the context of 5e.2024 and a fair number of monsters have a much higher initiative modifier that you might expect by their Dex alone. Some add their proficiency bonus and some seem to have expertise on top of that as well. So I think having advantage on initiative may be powerful, it's not as powerful all the time in the 2024 rules as it would have been in 2014 rules.Giving every member of the party an effective +5 (what advantage is roughly worth) on initiative is pretty big no matter how you do it!
I can think of any number of recent combats where the situation would have changed drastically if that had been present.
