From a workflow perspective, MAB is a bit difficult to find radical improvements from. The radical improvements come from fundamental design changes, of which it would be very expensive to create a bunch of radically different variants.

MAB is best used where you can generate a bunch of variants cheaply and hope for a 30% gain.
