We routinely store images and pdfs in Solr. There *is* a benefit, since you don't need to manage another storage system, you don't have to worry about Solr getting out of sync with the other system, you can use Solr replication for all your assets, etc.

I don't use DIH, so personally I don't care whether it handles blobs, but it does seem like a natural extension for a system that indexes data from SQL in Solr.

BLOB is non-searchable field so there is no benefit of storing it into
Solr. Any external key-value store can be used to store the blob and
reference of this blob can be stored as a string field in Solr.

I had a similar problem and didnt find any solution to use the fields in

Blob for a filter ... Not with DIH.
