So the shooting opportunity is very real in the last thirty seconds

Unless their team's number is 1717*, I don't think even the elite teams can
consistently score 30 disc points in 10-20 seconds by themselves. 20-21 disc pts + a 10-pt climb may be more feasible, but 30 disc points is tough.
Plus, elite alliances won't have any discs left to huck at the end. (edit-- this doesn't account for the possibility of a higher-accuracy score of 4 colored discs into the pyramid goal either).
So I definitely think that high-caliber teams want a 30-point climb as an option for endgame.
*Of course, the kids who built an 18-shot bot last year aren't on that team any more
