Fetch API limitations: not supported in IE, there is a polyfill, but it can implement only a subset of features. Previously it didn't have ability to abort requests. Does not support tracking progress. Does not support requests timeouts. Specification does not have request timeouts, so you need to implement your own timeout logic. It's not possible to get a Document back directly from the Fetch API itself.
