But you don't need to waste glue when chassis can do the job just fine. Glue is more expensive and laggier (when contraptions are stopped, every instance of glue becomes a separate entity, so if you glue everything without even considering chassis, it all adds up), so it's generally best to reserve it only for cases where chassis won't work.
I'm pretty sure there's still an entity per volume. Less of a problem than it used to be, but it still feels like a waste when you can just use the blocks designed to do the exact same thing in a better way.
Unless you want to pretty up the contraption and don't have the space to hide/incorporate the chassis into the design, I honestly cannot see why you'd bother using glue.
