My opinion of "it'd be better, competitively, to really nail a 6wd and drive the heck outta it" doesn't.
That being said, some folks aren't about maximizing competitiveness and are about doing something cool.
So, it's priorities - there's very few times in which a swerve is going to offset the cost (weight, money, complexity) from a competitive perspective but there's plenty of times in which it brings other benefits to your program as a whole.
