GCN did a video where they tested clipless vs platforms:

The platforms ended up being slightly more efficient, if I remember correctly. Yeah, there is pretty much no 'upstroke' benefit. Clipless do have other benefits, such as being easier to use at higher cadences, and being easier to bunny hop with.
