I don't know why he's saying it's better on DX than FX (crop-sensor than full-frame) since they're known for great IQ and versatiliy.
Here's a typical full-frame, 70-200mm shot at 111mm:

It's also a great portrait lens and great for some wildlife. |
The older nikon 70-200 f/2.8 is a bit better on DX because the corners are a lot softer on that lens but on DX that won't matter since you are mainly using the center of the lens. On FX the new version (or the f/4 version) are generally sharper across the frame.
Otherwise agree with everything you said including the third party options.
