Mixed Feelings
I love Persona 5. This anime is great for me to relive the game I played 4 years ago and reignite those memories. If anything, the 2D art style of some of the 3D moments improve those moments so much.

However, objectively, this anime just tries to fit so much into too little time and is subsequently so rushed. I don't know the time of the cutscenes of the game alone, but I'm willing to bet it is far more than the total time of the anime. Furthermore, the inclusion of the Confidant storylines can feel like weird diversions from the main story instead of the more organic way they developed in the game itself.

I cannot imagine that someone who is new to the franchise will fall in love with it and that a large portion of the Persona 5 fanbase will just be disappointed (even if somewhat understanding why it doesn't fit). But if you are looking to remember the fun you had playing the game, give it a chance.
