Wedding photographers: How has tracking eye AF changed your experience?

So firstly I am NOT a wedding photographer. I have a great deal of respect for those of you who've made a career out of it. I simply lack the people skills and the myriad other qualities necessary to be truly good at it. All I know is how to use a camera and I have three photographer friends who shoot weddings and portraits for a living so I get called on to help from time to time. It's the only reason I own a suit lol

I've been shooting wildlife lately. I shoot EOS R5 and R5 II. I started realizing just how dependent I've become on eye AF. I use double back button focusing as many wildlife photogs do and use eye tracking virtually all the time. It's pushed my keeper rate way up high compared to pre-tracking AF days. I've been shooting for a long time - first camera was a Canon AE-1 so I remember how tough it was to get a keeper on moving animals and people 'back in the day'

The last couple of times I've assisted at weddings and receptions I noticed just how much I depend on it there, too. Pre-eye tracking it was very stressful keeping the wedding party and guests tack sharp while they're moving and milling about. Now it's almost easy and I can lay back and worry more about composition, timing, DOF, etc.

I was wondering how this has changed the industry for those of you who shoot weddings for a living. Sea change? Or just another tool in the bag? I guess I should have included sports photogs in the question but I've never shot sports so it didn't occur to me till I finished typing and I'm too lazy to edit :-)
