You can fight at your pace because once the resource is generated, it'll stay on your bar until you use it or leave the zone.
The Sen thing is a fair point, though Kenki I feel is as much a point against it: let's say you are doing world content, a dungeon or alliance raid or something and have Kenki left over. Since all your actions start building it (and fast), you feel the need to spend it. This is especially true if you have a button that is always ticking that gives you 50 more of it, and the sooner you can press it, the sooner the CD can start ticking. This just makes the start of combat feel more frantic with the oGCDs to spend if you have these resources. Sen is not so bad; Iaijutsu are like jumps in that they gate the pace of the job a bit which can be a good thing.

Though if you find it's still comfortable for you, it could be worth trying for the OP. I found it rough on my wrists but everyone will have different experiences based on their configurations and circumstances and all that. It starts at 50 so if the thread poster finds it's taxing her wrists it's not so bad to drop it. You get a good idea of how SAM feels as you approach 70.
