Besides the well-known issue of scan times, are there other significant drawbacks to using the electronic shutter on the X2D?

I know for some cameras, such as Canon FF cameras, the ES has worse dynamic range, and this poster from reddit clear thinks the X2D does as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/hasselblad/comments/1c48ou0/can_someone_help_explain_the_electronic_shutter/

But a 1-stop degradation would be rather dramatic. And Jim Kasson's test didn't reveal any major differences: https://blog.kasson.com/x2d/hasselblad-x2d-100c-edr-vs-iso/

So I was wondering if people here noticed anything noteworthy when using the X2D?

There is no DR penalty when shooting with the electronic shutter on X2D.

When using the electronic shutter (as with most cameras) the flash cannot be triggered.
