BeyondInspection has a nice breakdown of the drive trains that made it to Einstein this year and previously. You'll see the vast majority aren't exotic, just very well executed 6WD or 8WD.
One also has to consider the ratio of teams that use a drive versus the number that actually make it to Einstein or elims.
That being said, 6WD still makes it Enstein more often than other types of drivetrains.
