Default Knowing the pitfalls of flaperons...

I know many folks don’t like flaperons as they can induce tip stalls on landing.

Recognizing this fact, are there applications where they are beneficial, for example on takeoff? My thought is that in this case you have full throttle and if you do tip stall at least you don’t have to first transition to full power. Flaperons are so easy to set up, it seems a waste not to have good flaps on a plane…
