To check a fast moving picture I watched a World Cup Match of the Day highlights show. The screen judder was noticeable and it was too obvious the commentary was quicker than normal, quite annoying and definitely not one to use for football.
I then checked a TV show which happened to be an episode of Legion on Fox. It was ok at times but again, any fast moving scenes there was judder and it was clear the speech was too fast.
The biggest downside for me is the loss of 5.1, don't know why I didn't think of this in the first place, something has got to give when you speed things up. A definite deal breaker for me. My amp is connected via optical cable so couldn't test through HDMI (without swapping cables around behind the TV anyway)
Your comment of hardly notice the difference seems far fetched to me but I respect your opinion.
Of course we all have different set ups and TVs, perhaps my TV is too old and not of a high enough spec. I'm not one to spend 4 figure sums on a TV and replace it when the next big thing comes around but neither do I go for cheap TV's. My philosophy is mid range price, good brand and replace when it dies.
On the plus side, I'm glad VM added this option. Option being the key word. If it works for you then great, if it doesn't then it is never used but at least the option is there.

There is no juddering for me, so maybe it's your set-up/equipment. I would not use it if this happened.
