There is no doubt most people who do AP long term started off on colour and then progressed to mono. In fact, I would say most of us started with a DSLR as 10+ years ago there wasn't the variety of OSC cameras available today. But today OSC colour cameras are high tech imaging units which are cooled and for anyone starting out and allow incredible detail to be captured very quickly and this can suffice for many years.
So to answer the OP's question, sure at a personal level absolutely no regrets, and once you have cycled through all the well known objects in the sky with a OSC camera and master processing you will long for more detail etc. and eventually go to mono. In light polluted skies in a city of 5 million people I am totally amazed what a Ha B&W camera can capture.
Do I miss some of the instant gratification of OSC? Not any more as Ha and L in B&W provide this and exceed the detail that OSC cameras provide. Would I like the simplicity of OSC processing rather than LRGB? Sure!
Just my 2 cents worth.
Clear skies.
