Major benefit of Airflow is the number of already implemented integrations. Importing data from GCS to BigQuery, copying data from Postgres to GCS, KubernetesPodOperator and so on. IIUC with Temporal you get only workflow management which can be easily integrated with any application to implement business logic. And this is great, because implementing business workflow in Airflow is even more awful than the Airflow itself. But for any ETL or plumbing job Airflow is IMO better due to existing integrations.
