I can't imagine large ones are anything but annoying. However, a family one or a couple friends works out pretty well.
I happen to be in a couple of both of those so I'm a little biased. The family one is good for planning and sharing pictures from time to time. The friend one is good for sending memes and shit.
Edit: even then, if one of those starts going off and has nothing to do with me, I'll mute notifications for an hour or so.
We have a neighborhood one that's pretty great, because we somehow got our city councilman to join. Now if there's a water main break or something, we get live updates on it.
I feel with group chats that one's company, two's a crowd. I'm in more than one, but I can only pay attention to one at any given time. Some of them I dip out of for long intervals before I dip back in.

Me, over fifty, and my doctor actually wants to give me a toot canal. (Colonoscopy)
Honestly, as someone who just got one, it's not really that bad. Just do it and treat yourself afterwards... it's absolutely worth it.
I already beat cancer once, so I'm not taking any chances. Tootcanal in a cold doctor's office seems like a small price to pay.
I don't understand group chats and don't have enough friends to use one if I did understand it.

I hate group chats.
Other than one or two of them.

My mother's husband sometimes creates random new group chats. They're all one offs and he just makes new ones somehow.
The only one I'm in is my husband, my twin, and myself. We usually use it for groceries so twin knows what to bring home.
You, your husband and your twin all live together? Just the three of you?
Yeah.
You need ay least a group to send memes so that they can use the "boring emoji" on you...
Boy, that's a real boner!
Blud, I think it's time I got myself a toot canal.
You can edit messages for about five minutes after you send them, you know
You know how sometimes you'll see posts here saying "edit: yeah i'm leaving that b/c it's funny"?
