Heavily depends on your strategy. Shift on the fly is nice but if your ratios are spread too wide it can actually be jarring. Perhaps the game has multiple modes wherein one speed is beneficial and another wherein a vastly different speed is useful. OR in the case of a power takeoff.

I've also run bots that servo shifted dewalts and when a shift was requested we backed off the power to the drive motors momentarily while the shift happened. Not the best, but it worked.

Course, I'm loving the simplicity of a 6CIM single speed right now.
