Most of my bikes have mechanical shifting, but the alpha bike (and my wife's primary bike) are Di2. I would never want to hobble my best bike with anything less.
I recently put GRX mechanical on my touring bike and it is quite nice, so it would be a bit strong (and inaccurate) to say I would never go back. But my Di2 Ultegra is much better than my Campy mechanical.
