I generally like UDH aside from the Transmission application. Sure your derailleur is more likely to fail than the hanger, but all the 12-speed stuff from every brand is so much more precise than even 11-speed that mounting it to something stiff and straight is important.
I don’t know how many brands will chase direct mount, if any. Maybe SRAM will do a cable-version but they’re not saying.
Are limit screws really that big a deal? Do we need to be able to stand on our derailleurs in the parking lot or shop?
