Nothing appears on the front end

In the Elementor editor the widget names the missing piece: a field, a row layout, or rows. On the front end it stays silent by design. Check that the field really has rows for the source you picked, and that a row layout is selected.

A sub-field is empty in the template

Add a row field tag with the path #keys for a moment. It prints every key in the current row, which usually shows the name is spelled differently, or sits one level deeper behind a group.

The inner loop shows the wrong rows

A nested loop needs its source set to the current row, and its field must be the sub-repeater name rather than a full path from the post.

My new ACF field is missing from the dropdown

The lists are read once per editor load, so reload the editor. You can always pick the custom path option and type the name instead.

Can I use widgets from other plugins inside a row?

Yes. If a widget has a dynamic control it can read the current row, because values are supplied through Elementor’s own dynamic tag system rather than anything private to this plugin.

Does it slow the page down?

Rows come from one ACF read. The row template renders per row and its CSS is printed once. No JavaScript is loaded on the front end, and the stylesheet is only enqueued when a loop is on the page.
