In almost all respects, standalone Fusion serves my needs better. It's more stable, not having the rest of Resolve bogging it down; it gets better use of memory and is thus a bit faster; it's more easily automated; and versioning is much simpler when you have files on disk rather than entries in a black-box database. Also, I'm not really confident in Resolve's color management system. I prefer to have easy and explicit control over my color conversions with nodes right there in the comp instead of some behind-the-scenes voodoo. That's a personal thing; I'm sure others are much more familiar and comfortable with Resolve's color handling.
I think Resolve might have some use as a conform tool in a VFX pipeline (though I haven't taken the time to explore how easy it would be to build pipeline around it), but I wouldn't use it as the primary compositor.
