I use them.

They take pressure off the hands and redistribute the pressure in the shoulders for me. I have mine on 50mm risers, so, the primary benefit is comfort and not aero. I'm actually more aero down in the hooks.

PBP this year is only asking not to ride on them when in a group. They can extend beyond the levers, unlike in 2019. Many riders are scared on them, probably because they have no experience. I have never seen someone crash due to TT bars unlike the many crashes I have seen randos hitting curbs on turns due to cutoff beams. Boston 600k, Florida 300K, and three times on PBP = many
