I almost exclusively use EFCS. 14 bit raws and no rolling shutter artefacts. Sometimes I'll full mechanical shutter when I shoot wide open in bright light to avoid the weird bokeh issues you get in those situations with EFCS. I only use electronic shutter if I need to be silent which is extremely rare.

Good and important point; a lot of people are either not aware of or don't care about the ES producing 12-bit raws rather than 14.

It makes very little difference to the final edited pic IMO. There are times when it makes a difference but for me they are rare and I am sure they are for many who shoot the same way as I do. The advantages of the ease of tracking many subjects in ES outweighs the 12bit vs 14bit output.
