In a multi-mod environment, it is generally futile to attempt to force players into an "intended way". They will either do it because it's interesting, or resent the requirement.
As for the current state of motivation, let's see. I'm using shafts and bevel gears in order to transport my solar power from the three towers to their rotational dynamos which feed one tesseract, I'm using dynamometers to monitor power throughput at various points, I've been using shaft junctions to run a grinder with four steam engines, I'm using CVTs and gearboxes to adjust the torque/speed ratio of my tier 4 magnetostatics in order to run my excavators, miners and the bedrock breaker. I've devised a 4x4x4block of shaft junctions and bevel gears to split the output of a 900MW reactor into levels that can be handled by redstone energy conduits. And all that since v19 where the Magnetostatics hadn't been nerfed. There is motivation enough to use RoC mechanics.
The only thing I don't use RoC mechanics for is actual power transmission within my base and long-range, and things will stay that way unless power conversion is made completely impossible - which would be, needless to say, a major turn-off. My base, and as I suspect, like most other player's bases, is a constant work in progress, and power distribution systems that adapt themselves to varying power requirements without intervention, at least to some degree, are non-negotiable. To say nothing of interdimensional transmission... I'm ditching my tesseract-based system when RoC offers me a way for interdimensional logistics pipes routings. As I said, mod synergy is a good thing.
And there is no one and only true way to do things. I admire RoC for being one of very few "global tech mods" with a distinctive style, designed to do many different things in its own way. Being forced to use all components, though, will only result in resentment.
