Yes chain has its problems and gears sometimes have their benefits in a DT, but when the design is based on good tensioning and weight is considered their priority you can't go wrong with chain.

We were happy not to have any chain in our drive train this year too though But I wouldn't necessarily bypass chain, especially when its a veteran team like Blizzard.
