The SendingStone review

The #ConjureAnimals spell is a powerful but controversial spell. Some players argue that it allows druids and rangers to summon an overpowered army, effectively breaking the game mechanics. Others appreciate the diversity and creative options that come with summoning creatures to aid in battles, saying that it adds an exciting element to the game. Some have even created their own rules and restrictions when using the spell to prevent it from being too unbalanced. Overall, while it may have its flaws, #ConjureAnimals remains a popular spell among players and DMs alike.
