For what it's worth, after about a year of commuting fixed with a v-brake (old XT parallelogram one, fwiw) I upgraded to a mechanical disc (TRP Spyre). I am convinced it has saved my life, or at least avoided serious crashes, at least three times within 6 months. All three times in the wet. n=1 and all that, but well worth it.
