I can count on zero hands the number of times I've needed to solve a problem by navigating the branch tree.

I've lost count of the number of times that two eternal branches and feature branches with pull requests (+ code review) has saved major flaws from getting to production.

The develop branch is perfect for automatically deploying our bleeding edge to our test server.

Although, if we move to a more continuous deployment approach, we may transition away from two eternal branches. But when GitFlow was first written about, continuous deployment really wasn't the trend that it is now.

Methods will continue to evolve...
