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.

... which also means that you lose a lot of what people call "ISO-invariance", so relative exposure becomes more important.
