Same here, I don't find any major benefit on technical climbing with a high engagement hub. That said I do really like high engagement hubs descending though, particularly on the enduro bike. There is much less shock to the drivetrain when laying into the pedals out of a corner, and I like the quicker engagement when ratcheting into something gnarly.
