I personally think it looks broken and wrong. For short strings I don't see the point and for multiline strings, use a heredoc.

The reason I never use Heredoc is because you need to abandon your indentation, otherwise your tabs/spaces get included in the string. Is there a way around that?

Not since PHP 7.3![1] If you indent the closing identifier, then the corresponding indentation will be removed from the content of the heredoc string.

I thought they fixed this with [1] Flexible Heredoc in 2017 with PHP 7.3
