I'd have to confirm this, but an undercut shouldn't be any less efficient. It just needs the tooth to be reduced in size near the base to prevent impact of teeth; the involute surface should still be maintained.
It really is a substantial strength decrease; but as shown by numerous robots running them they are still strong enough.
