I noticed on Aliexpress that there are a lot of digital dashes for sale for around the $800 mark with 40 to 50 % off. Has anybody bought one from aliexpress and what are your thoughts on it? Are they any good?

I did look at these for a bit, but after looking at the reviews they look to be just a screen and small PC that reads data from your existing cluster the sits under the digital dash, not sure what the newer MQB cluster ones work but I would think it would be similar.
Some reviews mention poor translation of menus etc.
Seems like a lot of work and no return if you damage the existing cluster with the mod.
I went with the OEM option in the end.

It depends on the car.
For a Mk6 Golf for example it works quite well.
For B7 Passat it's a mess - no trim for RHD, assistants menus don't work, BT menu doesn't work multiple other issues I pointed out to be addressed at which point the communications ceased.
Pretty standard for this sort of thing unfortunately.
If they open sourced the sw there would be a community which would address all the issues pretty quickly.2011 Skoda Octavia vRS TDI DSG wagon|Revo Stage 1|Race Blue|Leather|Dynamic Xenons w 6000K|9w7 BT|THA475 Amp+active sub|Whiteline ALK|RVC|
