When I first got my GRX 800, I was thinking that I should always run the clutch "off" unless I was specifically off-roading. I think my shop even told me that it shifts better in the "off" position.
After a few rides I decided to try it "on" and notice zero difference on the road. I think theoretically it introduces a tiny bit more friction to the drivetrain, so it maybe is costing me a watt or two, but it shifts the same in either position (which means it shifts really well).
I just run it "on" all the time now.
