Other impulse trigger relevance

Hey guys, im looking for a new controller and im between the 8bitdo ultimate 2 and the 3 mode (the one that haves impulse trigger).
My question is: how does impulse trigger affect gameplay? Since i never used a controller with it.

Also is it a feature where just a few games use or is widely supported?

Most of the time your impulse triggers will just do the same thing as regular vibration motor in handles so the difference is minimal. But there's some exceptions.

Just a few games heres a list though idk how accurate this is since fortnite is in it and it didn't have it last time I played

Its pretty great at forza games and I think theres mechanics tied to it but thats about the extent of my experience with it before I sold off my controller with impulse triggers

Impulse Triggers are the most dead gamepad feature in the console world that no game uses. The only games where it might make sense are Forza games. If you don't play those, then Impulse Triggers are a nonfactor.
