so far rudder feedback is always used for end limits to avoid stress on the system, and also to output the rudder angle to nmea and signalk.
the absolute pilot is a basic attempt at a PID filter which incorporates the rudder feedback. I suspect up to 10-15% improvement over the basic pilot so in many cases it may not be possible to notice the difference, but as you can see I implemented this some time ago and never managed to test it (too many other things to test) It could be especially useful if there is a lot of weather helm.. will be interesting to see.
