For those interfaces, there's not a lot of overlay loading issues on the kernel side. The biggest change, you should see your pin's taken earlier and more consistently at bootup. You can also optimize your boot time more, as one of the big reasons everything we have is built as a module, is just too make the kernel overlays work more reliable.
