Flywheels do the same on digital layouts, too - there is no too big difference here (only except the time needed by the decoder to restart, as you already mentioned). And here is one more advantage of Doehler & Haass technology on which my digital decoders are based: D&H SDH119-2, the proprietary ASIC has a very low latency and requires much shorter time to restart than many 'classic' decoder designs based on universal microcontrollers with a dedicated firmware. It allows D&H decoders to struggle with bad contact with the tracks more efficiently even without external energy storage devices.
And don't forget that all AZL locomotives have flywheels, too (as well as Märklin locomotives based on the new design with coreless motors). All this together, further enhanced by the energy storage module, can give outstanding results in terms of the driving characteristics of Z scale locomotives.
Regarding other forums: unfortunately, I have not enough time for everything. I already spend much time communicating in multiple places - this forum, German ZFI forum and also on Facebook. Being presented on too many platforms at the same time seems to me unfeasible, at least now.
Best regards,
Alex
