I do use audiobookshelf and have it in fact integrated in music assistant as the audiobook source. My use-case for MA is multi-room streaming to the kitchen and living room, which audiobookshelf can’t do on it’s own.
I would use Audiobookshelf as a source for Music Assistant, and then play them via Music Assistant. That way I can use my Sonos speakers (and eventually Snapcast speakers), synchronize across rooms etc. If I had to use Audiobookshelf directly, I would either play it from my TV with the TV on (only other way I can use my Sonos Beam) or on my phone with a Bluetooth speaker or headphones.
For audiobooks and podcasts, I always recommend audiobookshelf. Although it is a slightly different usecase than this one here.
