Is a cordless orbital sander powerful enough for serious woodworking?

The consensus across specialist woodworking subreddits we read is that modern brushless cordless sanders (DEWALT DCW210, Bosch GEX18V-5N, Makita XOB01Z) handle finish sanding and moderate stock removal well, but reviewers consistently recommend a corded sander if you'll be running it continuously for hours. Battery drain on coarse grits and heavy material removal is the most-cited limitation.
