The benefits of super() in single-inheritance are minimal — mostly, you don’t have to hard-code the name of the base class into every method that uses its parent methods.
However, it’s almost impossible to use multiple-inheritance without super(). This includes common idioms like mixins, interfaces, abstract classes, etc. This extends to code that later extends yours. If somebody later wanted to write a class that extended Child and a mixin, their code would not work properly.
