Default Is the traveler Arch good?

The view of the Hunter's fiberglass or Stainless Steel Traveler Arch is
interesting.
I wonder what would be the merit of having an arch like that on a sailboat.
Could a strong squall damage such an arch? Can the traveler be released in
time to empty the main sail when hit by a strong gust of wind? When
maneuvering through canal locks can the arch rub against the concrete walls
while the boat is rising and swirling? I see that the latest model have a
stainless steel arch instead of fiberglass on previous models.
