Based on the fairly standard calculations, I had my saddle at 73 cm for quite a while. It was really a problem for me. I would get a lot of cramping in my right hip. I started raising the saddle about 5 mm a week. When I got to 74.5 cm, the body said "that's the spot." No hip cramping, knees feel great, hips solidly rooted. It's really worth the process of working on it for a long time, adjusting it on the road.

After a ton of tiny adjustments, it's a great feeling knowing that you've just perfectly dialed it all in and the bike feels great.
Too bad I'm not there yet
