I have worked with rack full of the stuff, and that close spacing is a PITA on a fully populated bank. They require nearly half a turn to release, and that means you are digging into the next one over before you have released the one you are after. Staggered or a bit more widely spaced is far better.
Especially when a cheap jumper gets bought and used, and the tension in the internal spring is higher.
We only used them for synch pulsing and 10Mhz stuff. Upward of that SMA gets used. Practically industry wide, save for old oscilloscopes.
