When we were all riding Shovelheads and Ironheads we used to dream of hydraulic lifters that you didn't have to adjust....now we have them y'all wanna go back to the dark ages.
The ONLY advantage is that you can be lazy if swapping a cam or lifters but the potential problems caused by adjustable rods don't outweigh the tiny advantages in my opinion....I never use them....have fitted them for others, hated them, never again.

To be honest I never go over 5k and 90% of the time I shift at 4k or lower.
I have never hit the rev limiter or anything over 5k.
