This is older and Shimano has come out with even better hybrids. I think if you are a roadie or ride primarily basic xc flow trails and city bike paths then clipless is fine. If you want to do more all mountain riding or venture onto downhill trails then something like the Shimano M324 if you are climbing up. If you are shuttling why not swap out your pedals completely and put on some flats like the Saints. Clipless on a steep downhill gravity trail is not something I will ever enjoy though. I am often as far back on the bike as you can get and may need to bail off the back at any moment on the steeps and don't want to be locked in a fixed position. I also wouldn't want my hands clipped to my bars but that is just me

It has its place when you need torque.
