Are there drawbacks switching from AutoCAD to LT besides not having 3D tools?

That depends on which version.
2025Lt is closer to full version.

TLDR? here is a short quick list:
You're not going to be able to buy too much of a cheaper PC/Laptop
No Express Tools
No DATAEXTRACTION
Many of those new AutoCAD2025 block tools are missing.
No STANDARDS
No MLINE command or editing tools
No add-ons (3rd party or Autodesk)
LT only has a stripped down basic LISP ability, nothing else. So if you have LISP now you must need, you probably want to test them all, there is going to be a noticeable failure rate.
Very few Object Enablers work with LT.
No Parametric Constraints creation tools.
No 3D modelling or rendering.
No sure if you get any sort of access o Autodesk DOCS.
BUT... LT outsells AutoCAD by quite a bit, so that has got to count for something.

This is very helpful information. It's helping me to decide on putting some of my users onto LT who I think it will be sufficient for them. Thank you for the explanation!
