We did this for the past 4 or 5 years. What you are going to hear from everyone who hasn't done it, or didn't do it correctly, is that it can't be done or that it is a waste of time. Blah, blah, blah.

Reality: It can be done. However, it is not 100% bulletproof anymore. But 99.999% of your members won't bother trying to get it. Only hardcore pirates will. People are also not going to waste their time to screen record it.

You will lose some members over it. Not tons, but you will lose some. Be sure to set up a form to capture why they are leaving. What is difficult to measure is those who do not tell you why they cancel. So you may lose more than you think. If there is no cancel reason, you simply don't know.

We have also tried other variations. High quality stream, lower quality download. No downloads. All downloads. And so on. Since we have several niches, we have also found that some types of members complain about this more than others. So you will have to see what works best for you, possibly even on a per site basis. There isn't an easy YES or NO answer.
