Honestly no.

He feels like pandering. Let's make a cuter R2-D2 people will eat it up-- sure, I mean, I guess, but knowing that's the basically the entire point of the character cheapens it.

I expected to feel the same way about Grogu but that character actually feels like it adds a bit more than just being cute. (and is better at it than BB)

I don't really dislike him, like at some level it succeeds in being cute and in a movie that wasn't Star Wars I probably would like him, but I can't say I like him.

No.

So I never cared for the duo of R2-D2/C-3PO originally, rewatching it was nice to like notice things going on with R2 in the background. BB-8 felt straight up like "hey, people liked when R2 did things so let's have some slick, smaller droid always be present in the action and do some ridiculous things." Which was just straight up overblown.

I'm not sure what's more surprising, that it took this long for Sailor Mercury to be voted in one of these, or that Venus only scored in the 70s.

As for today's topic, Yes, BB-8 is cool.

Suffered from having no real foil or c3p0 equivalent. Cool design though

The whole thing with him is to be as cute and marketable as possible, which is inauthentic right off. Reminds me of the Mandalorian situation, where the Mouse desperately needed to rebuild the brand post-sequel trilogy and did so with a cutie-patootie baby-wabey. These days 'Baby Yoda' gets shilled about as hard as Frozen and Cars, but before that, it was BB-8.

No.

feels like pandering.

Disney star wars was built on pandering. Baby Yoda is an even more blatant example, they know how to make cute characters for people to get attached to and it worked like a charm.

To answer the topic: Yes. I even prefer BB-8 over Grogu.

However I think it would have been better if they just used R2 again as the main droid. He's already plenty cute and adored by all.

I don't agree Grogu is as pandery as BB-8 at all. Grogu has storyline relevance and his cuteness (he needs to be a baby for the plot to work, babies are cute) and Yodaness (random alien baby wouldn't have you wondering what he actually is) both are part of that storyline relevance, this is key for me.

I mean no he doesn't HAVE to be cute and yes he's pandering but there's just enough concealment on it that I think he succeeds a lot better at not feeling blatantly shallow about it.
