I had a Fi collar. I replaced it with an AirTag because I found the AirTag to be better in almost all cases.

Battery lasts for better part of a year. There’s no subscription fee. Range is better (this surprised me; my dog goes to a daycare where the fi collar had no cell coverage, but with the AirTag, I see his location reported there on a regular interval)

There are now also a number of “Find My” enabled collars which are basically the exact same thing as an AirTag. The only thing you don’t get is the precision finding when you’re nearby (which to be honest, is pointless for pets).

It still functions just fine for such use, but if you live in a household with multiple iPhones, it can be annoying when you’re traveling alone with the pet.

If the device the AirTag is associated to is with you when you travel, it’s not an issue.

Hopefully associating AirTags to iCloud family is high on their list. There’s a lot of other cases where this is an issue (ex: using it on a vehicle fob/keychain that’s shared)
