the other advantages are true for an electronic groupset but not unique to wireless.
Right but those extra batteries are a benefit, not a problem. If one goes bad like either the rear derailleur or rear lever, you can shift onto the most appropriate front ring and then switch the bad battery for the good one and still have 11-gears to use. Plus the 2032s are so small you can carry one or two easily in your tool bag. It is actually much preferable to the wired together on one battery setup of the competition.
