I’ve got the electronic locking rear differential fitted on mine.
It seems to work a lot of the time even in on road situations, also sometimes it doesn’t fully lock as the computer sees fit, in rock crawl and mud and ruts it fully locks.

l guess if you're using the vehicle off road it will be useful to have the advanced features.
I do go off road but only around farms and in that respect the vehicle has been faultless.
One thing l have noticed is, if you leave it in the default "comfort" mode it seems to be primarily RWD.
ln default mode l was struggling to get across a muddy field which was a surprise. l changed it to "mud & ruts" and it drove out with no further issues.
l never got stuck in my old Defender and it didn't have the traction control or anything, just the centre diff lock. And l only had to use the diff lock about half a dozen times in nine years.
