As a force multiplier using another vehicle to get a moving start, then yes, I can see an advantage in a braded rope like that. But another vehicle isn’t usually around when I get stuck, so I’m on my own. A one ton chain fall with about 10’ of chain and another length of chain or no stretch rope is usually enough to get me going again. Trees are everywhere here and tying off to a tree trunk works well. Would some elasticity with one of those ropes be any advantage in that situation?
If you are by yourself it's quite advantageous. You put a kinetic load on it and then get back in your rig, ease out, rather than pulling all the way.
I use a mix of gear. Soft shackles are great but not on sharp stuff. Old school shackles, and even a chain still have a place. Depending on use, wire winch rope is still viable.
The key is understanding the limitations of your gear.
