I've been using d153 and a delay setting of 5/erratic for my testing as I think it's a "worse case" scenario... I'm also feeling comfortable with it set that way. But I still find the performance notably worse in very demanding situations. Granted, IMO the results from those situations probably will never be great images either way (distant subject, small in the frame).
Supposedly my findings/concerns are being passed to the Nikon D5 expert... I made a recommendation of a firmware fix that adds an option called "limit focus shift" or "blocked shot mode." I emphasized the benefit of this behavior for wildlife photographers shooting demanding subjects like birds in flight, and that wildlife photographers are a huge portion of the consumers purchasing the D5/D500. Even if they do listen, I wouldn't expect the change anytime soon.
