I personally think hard wiring the ders is a great 'compromise'. They take the most juice, and reduces batteries to one and 'protects' it as well. BUT I really don't think the wiring of di2 or EPS is any big deal..setup is certainly easier but functionally, after put together..wired or wireless really means nada.
I think the next gig with shimano and electronic is a 'smart' front der ala XTR..with one shifter(rear) and a programed front der w/o a shifter. Wireless? I don;t see it from shimano or Campag. Neither see any advantage except for setup..and I doubt they care much about that. Particularly shimano. If they don't see the 'advantage' they don't do it..carbon cranks, BB30 cranks, a good example.
BUT seeing some of the 2018 pro tour bikes with hydro disc setups with internal hydro lines..bet the wrench-force are 'lovin' that...
Everything inside..
