How about vStorage CBT differentials?

Anyone actually have a problem with the registry, certificate store etc 
not coming back to the point in time of the differential backup?

I am torn if I should keep doing my incremental /synthetics including 
system state as well as periodic vStorage fulls, or go all in except 
some key systems that keep their main dynamic state in the system state 
area (Like CA Services, AD, RDS systems), and agent backups for SQL, 
Exchange, Sharepoint.
