I built a di2 hydro disc brake bike for 'winter' riding and ended up using the rim brake mechanical groupset bike for 70% of festive 500 because disc bikes are just too boring to ride /csb
So if you want to create a dull bike that will be consistent (maybe even exciting) in only few aspects (braking, rim choice) then disc brakes. Completely makes sense for stuff like Transcontinental/commuting etc.
