Default LNC VS MSD 2- step launch controller - different question

I know this has been discussed before, but not this particular question. Let me know if my logic is flawed.

The MSD 2 step launch controller will not activate during shifts.

As I understand it, the LNC will activate during shifts if wired to do so through the clutch switch. To me this seems like it could be an advantage in that you could power shift, activating the rpm limiter in the launch controller and reduce strain on the drive train while improving shift time.

In other words, I shift with the throttle floored, the LNC kicks in reducing power, then turns off when I let the clutch out again. I shift quicker and stress on the drive train is reduced.

Does this make sense? Am I missing something here??

Thanks!

I would think the benefit would be more to preventing over revving, rather than to the drivetrain, no?
