It may be more effective to do time-restricted eating with no dinner, but for many people (with kids, for example), this is not practical. I've done 17/7 for about a year with good success, usually from 7p to noon. It allows me to eat dinner with my small kids, and that has made it feasible for my family.
I've not done 17/7 or 16/8, but I've done 1/0, i.e. alternate day fasting for quite a while. Compatibility with social life aside, I find it much harder to sleep after not having eaten for 24 hours, and it didn't get significantly easier to fall asleep after a few months. My sleep would also be lighter, so I'd wake up more often from some random noise.
I don't know how much this plays a role in 17/7 etc, but if it does, skipping dinner might make sticking to it harder than skipping breakfast.
