Personally, if anything, it makes me concentrate more on situational awareness. You're not busy on micro adjustments of speed, steering but looking at the road ahead, your mirrors etc.
Absolutely this.
It feels like a continuation of the progression from being a new driver, worrying about how to make the car move, to being an experienced driver.
Not worrying about low level velocity and course corrections allows me to concentrate on what's actually happening more.

Long journeys using adaptive cruise + lane keep are much less tiring.
Worth noting that Tesla's driven with Autopilot engaged (just their fancy name for adaptive cruise with steering) experience one crash in every 4.19 million miles in the US. On average, other cars experience a crash in every 484k miles.
