I would probably use any forced induction system less than 1% of the time I was driving.
I would much rather it be something that did not have a belt or a blade spinning in my exhaust system all the time for that 1%.
Life expectancy would be several times the life of my engine.
Slightly larger battery and alternator, which could also drive the rest of the accessories with electricity instead of fan belts.
Electric water pumps and AC is already here, so is power steering. With an electric supercharger you need no more fan belt driven accessories.
Smart charging could use DFCO to apply maximum charging when you are using no fuel.
I think it will become a part of an improved system, not any "dead end"
