Rear disc brakes worth it?

I had a whole "gaggle"
of Buick Grand Nationals coming in my shop in the late '80's early '90's(turbo V6,some were intercooled)They all ran at least low 12's,some ran autocross or other "road course" type events.They ALL had drums in the rear and I never had any complaint about the way any of them stopped!
For most applications I think they are an unneccessary overrated pain in the ***.Put disks on the front and spend your money elswere.
