I mean, I don't use the extra guy at 2nd base in extra innings because I'm doing a fictional/historical league that's in 1972 and I want to make things as "realistic" as possible. That said, extra inning games can be extremely annoying and tedious, especially during the Second Deadball Era. Like, it's all well and good to talk about these "tense" 19 inning 2-2 games but it's a completely different thing to play them out, where both benches are completely spent (so there's not a lot to do each at-bat except hit "play" - I should note that I handle substitutions for both teams but allow the AI to choose offensive/defensive strategy) and somehow the freaking long relievers on both teams have thrown 7 innings of shutout ball. And then it feels like suddenly bunts go from being 80% effective to 50% at best, and guys annoyingly stay at 3rd base when making a play at the plate would end the game... just UGH.
