I used a noseless saddle for 3 years, i'm back on a traditional saddle but with 85% perineal pressure relieve vs 100% i believe i have found a good compromise. I did experience some lack of control when riding without hands on the handlebar and some sliding effect especially when riding with a bicycling short that i mainly solved by increasing the roughness of the surface of the saddle and tilting the saddle further back but what bothered me the most and the main reason why i went back for a traditional saddle is the lack of dynamic control. I mean by the that the impossibility to seat further back or ahead from the handlebar when needed. (i believe most of the noseless saddles could solve this problem by allowing the saddle to slide on the rail slightly forward and backward). On the other hand from what i have read on forums from people who have barely tried the saddle and rejected it is to haven't tried harder than 1hr or 1 day of use to make it work before giving up.
