I guess that the version number is not important here. You're just asking for Ofbiz in general, right? I wrote a blog post about how time consuming it is to start with Apache Ofbiz in comparison with Broadleaf Commerce. I cannot talk about the other components that the shopping cart itself, because I didn't need almost any of them.
The advantage is, that after you spend the time learning and investigating the engine and develop a production ready shopping cart. It is not so hard to change / modify it to come up with another custom cart. And if you anytime need an advanced components like promotions, accounting (billing, invoicing), CMS or CRM, you will be ready to add them.
The disadvantage is, that the framework is good for truly custom development for rather medium and big businesses. It's not like that you would come up with a SaaS where you would rent shopping carts that suits needs of small businesses. The entity model and administration is flexible, but the one who makes the changes is the developer. The developer adds/changes groovy scripts that define the product etc.
