I would say a benefit of a tipi or pyramid over a typical tent is the lack of tent poles as they can pitched with 2 trekking poles or a tree branch if necessary. So benefit is weight saving and simplicity. Sucks to lose a shock cord or break a pole on a long mountain trip with a typical tent.
Also, most typical bathtub style tents don’t have a stove jack and the floor prevents the safe use of a stove.
That all said, I prefer a typical bathtub type tent for summer fishing/hiking.
