I’ve never flown with a HUD but talking to those that have it’s a clear upgrade during landings and a bit of a cheat code if I’m being honest by the sounds of it (-3 degree line, FPV, speed trend)
Having said that, Airbus managed to be certified to do CAT 3C with no HUD so there’s not really an economic argument for it- in fact many A350 operators don’t go for the HUD option whereas I believe it’s standard on the 787 (777x also?) and was required to allow 737s to go below CAT 1 minima
