I run mine on a steady light with the brake boost enabled on my commutes as the run time gets me to work and back for a couple of days. I figure that as you say drivers don’t expect a bike to have a brake light so think I’m a moped or a motorcycle, I also have my strada on steady as well. On country lanes I seem to get more respex/room than flashy flashy.

Car drivers don't expect a cyclist to have a brake light so I always thought the Reakt mode was pointless. A car driver is unlikely to connect a cyclists rear light getting brighter/going solid with "that cyclists is braking". So many people ride with rear lights doing all sorts of flashing patterns.
As @hippy said, I also prefer mine to be in daybright mode all the time with the longest battery life.
