The annoyances of shutting to me are figuring out how the shuttle order is going to work, loading/unloading bikes and people, cramming into an over-loaded pickup on bumpy back road, and being in a car for several hours.
The advantages are hanging out with friends and getting tons of descending in.
If I had a group of friends with e-bikes that rode like down-hill bikes but could be pedaled at 15 miles per hour uphill for 5 or 6 laps, I think we could hang out with friends and get lots of descending, while also getting exercise on the climbs and not having to deal with all the truck rigamarole.
The math is always going to be different for different people, of course.
