The whole idea is to keep the feet on the pedals at higher cadences for racing,
since the current rules disallow wheel size/crank length changes which would
moderate cadences at racing speed.
SPDs? Powergrips? They’d probably work great…until you lost it. I haven’t
tried SPD or Powergrips, but my personal feeling is I don’t want ANYTHING
keeping my feet from hitting the ground first if I have to bail. Especially if
I’m going fast.
