I don't track my cars, but I do do hill runs, sometimes over consecutive full days, and I just like the piece of mind knowing the stopping power will always be there when I need it
Plus I prefer the maintenance and cleanliness as a hobby detailer, probably even more so

This topic has been covered extensively. CCB are cost prohibitive for track use. They wear just as fast as an iron setup when used on track without really offering a significant braking performance benefit (when the irons are paired with track pads). There is a reason why very few track junkies run CCBs.
These upgraded brakes can be an interresting avenue for those seeking more braking power from an iron setup. The main drawback IMO is that it requires 19" wheels minimum, therefore increasing tire cost (19" track tires are a fair bit more expensive than 18").
