Opinions may vary.
I had a deep desire to see exactly how much run time would occur after an IMS alert was initiated, before the engine had symptoms otherwise and then how much longer it would take to scatter parts.
I felt that development wasn't complete until I had experienced failure and knew how the system would both perform and respond.
Like I said, I'd spend the time and money on a patent search. You might just find something that will surprise you, and find it from a surprising source.
