root motion or not?

In the past I've always avoided root motion, but was rethinking that for the current project I'm on.

Specially for jumps/leaps where origin and destination are at different heights. Normally I've just either used bezier curves or done custom velocity calculations, but it's difficult to get a consistent feel that way over a variety of heights.

Would root motion be better for this case? I would likely just switch it on for those specific animations.
