I had a root canal years ago. At first they put a regular filling in it. That was fine for a while. Then the filling started cracking.
Eventually I had it capped. It hasn't given me any problems. When you get a root canal your tooth is basically dead since the whole nerve is removed so your tooth will turn gray. I was told, over twenty years ago, that my two front teeth would need root canals but, instead, the dentist drilled up to just before the root, put a post in and filled them. I've never had any problems and I still have my own teeth!

you just need to be careful for 3-4 days to avoid putting too much pressure on the "new" teeth after
root canal and after that it becomes as solid as normal teeth
there are no bad aftermaths after root canal
you will feel happy that youve done it
