I wouldn't really worry about flying, but more about taking off/landing.

Autoland has been used for 60 years and on much more complicated aircraft than that Beechcraft B200.

I suppose part of the problem with autolanding a small plane is that they have much less intertia and are much more susceptible to conditions.

Large planes are autolanded in normal conditions with oversight of qualified, capable and backed up operator, in harsh conditions they are not used, as far as I understand.

Autoland systems in small planes are emergency systems to land plane with disabled operator in any conditions generally acceptable for flying in that plane.
