The main issue caused by the CDV is when trying to quickly accelerate from a stop or shift fast, but the clutch delay prevents that from happening.

I can't say I've noticed any deleterious effects from the CDV in my F31. Maybe I'm not trying or driving hard enough. |
It's not just that. The CDV works by allowing clutch slippage, so over the long haul your clutch will wear faster. If you're experienced with shifting, you don't need it.
