I think you'd be dutifully impressed when you get them working right.
The convenience thing is a nice feature, but the eliminating of lace loops was the major factor in my using them.

Sure you can tuck your laces in around the boot tongue. I did for years with my sport/work boots, but sooner or later they come untied or snag up on roots ending with you doing a face plant :-[

Your gaiter choice will keep your lace loops from being a potential problem, but if they have the elastic cord/ cord loop under your boot instep , then that's another possible snag and fall hazard on the right terrain :-?
