MADI isn't necessarily limited to multi-track point-A to point-B signal routing. A MADI stage box can easily replicate its digital signals, eliminating the need for expensive and troublesome analog snake splitter cables. It can also support master/slave console priority, making it easy to use an on-stage monitor mixer on the same MADI router with a remote FOH console.
MADI seems much more stable and reliable. We had plenty of issues with Dante at my church for a while and when you have to freaking log in and jack around with routing parameters and the Dante network router just randomly says eff you, it seems needlessly complicated. MADI is point to point basically. No logging in. No passwords or accounts required. Just connect and configure routing and walk away. I do see the plus side of Dante it just requires so much work on the front end and you better have solid network connections.
