In practice 470 is good. The rootdown used to be 495 which is why I never bought one previously. I'm 5'11" and and wear 30 inseam jeans. 150 dropper is borderline for me with a 495 post.
I am running a transfer 150 and still have some post showing, that is also with 175 cranks and a fairly tall chromag Ltd saddle.
So there might be a few people that find the 470 limiting but it'd be rare, I speak from experience as I have really short legs. If you were more like 5'8" but wanted a 470+reach then it'd be a no go.
