I agree, I use USB OTG all the time, it's quite easy when you get used to the method, normally I use 64-128 gb micro sd cards and that's more than enough for my purposes.
I cannot get an external HDD to work with OTG, so I don't use mine for that purpose.
It is a current problem the phone/tablet doesn't supply enough power to spin the hdd, so if you use a powered usb hub the hub supplies the current and the drive can spin. Still awkward you might be able to use a battery to power the hub...
