I was of the same opinion WRT teleconverters until I decided to buy a Sony 1.4x TC to go with my Sony FE 200-600mm lens. Even at a full 840mm the image quality holds up. But shooting at focal lengths over about 500mm definitely has an impact on shooting style!
However, my opinion of 3rd party TC's has not changed; they do seriously impact image quality!

I use the Minolta 1.4x and the 2.8x tc's with the Minolta 200mm f2.8 apo G hi speed, and the 80-200mm f2.8 apo G hi speed with good results. with each I mostly use a monopod. with the 200mm version good results were easy with both tc's hand held. the camera was the Sony a-77 slt.
