The main gripe against KDP select are the freebies. You're allowed to give away freebies for 5 days per enrolled book.
The thinking is that it over saturates the market making readers not purchase books. (This point is arguable).
I have sold many books and had many borrows from kdp select by using only 1 of the freebie days to introduce the book to potential buyers and only for a series.
It has not worked for my other stand alone books.
Perhaps the best advice is for you to try it on the first book in a series and see how it goes from there.
