The changes we wanted to make to our intake subsystem required those extra flaps on our elevator to get out of the way. We looked into alternate ways of righting cans (the 2056 and the 1114 methods), but couldn't make either one quite work with our machine. We figured we weren't missing out on much for the reasons you said - if we had to take the time to line up and right the can, chances are we weren't gonna be able to put that on top of a stack as well in the same match.
The IRI rule changes also convinced us there were enough cans upright out there that it would be fine, so we made sure to work on our autonomous to minimize the chances of a can falling over at the beginning of a match.
