this is an opinion and we all know the phrase about the values of opinions but since you asked...
i feel like the ‘usefulnes’ of adjustable poles is more myth than matter - just like comparing the “breathability” of wind shirts or the majesty of a Melanzana hoody
Having adjustable poles has some utility if your tent requires a length that is A WHOLE LOT shorter than you need a hiking stick to be. My tarptent notch Li wants 110cm poles but at 5’10, a pole that short is a little short for comfort. A 120 is more comfortable. And still, hiking with “short” 110cm poles is in no way impeding my abilities. (thruhiked the TRT last summer with the ‘short’ poles. If i were 6’8” then yeah, 110cm poles would probably bee too short but then i wouldnt fit into the Notch tent so its a moot point again.
This whole hype over needing adjustable poles is, in my unrefined, hobbit-foot, classless tacky, redneck countrygirl, walmart-glory, opinion, is just a bunch of hooey.
FWIW, ive had the same set of 120cm carbon Z Distance poles since 2007 and just last year switched to a pair of Mountain King Trailblazers (not adjustable) that break down into 4 sections (smaller stowed package), weigh nearly an ounce less, and cost less than i paid for the Z poles back in ‘07. Hiking with the shorter poles felt strange for about 20feet then i forgot all about it and proceeded to blaze up and down the hills with no problems at all

Also, no matter how hard i hike; no matter how hard i sweat, i have never had blisters from my poles with foam grips (rolling my eyes) but the cork grips in my Gossamer Gear poles stinks like gym socks from the soaked in oil sweat and dirt. Cork is gross!
Again, this is just my opinion. Please dont stone me to death because you happen to disagree
