Same questions I had as well. My CDa is pretty darned low and from what I have been told from reliable sources it’s pretty hard for a male to get down in the 0.17-0.19 range (unless your simply a shorter smaller dude) You could also probably get your CDa down but could be at expense or loss of power thus not making sense and can you even hold that postion over say 4-5 hours. That particular bar I also can’t see be able to get into a good downhill aero tuck in either (but I guess I could be wrong) so your giving up watts on downhills for watts savings on the flats.You can actually get into an excellent down hill tuck. Just retract the bar and put your hands on the "tops" if that makes any sense. You end up in basically the same position as Kienle's "top tube safe" descent position.
You can actually get in the best possible tuck with the Morf-Tech. Lars Christian Vold, who rides with them, beat my ass in the downhills in Norseman reaching 99km/h while I only hit 93km/h. Then and there I decided that my next bike would have Morf-Tech bars. https://triallan.com/...man-downhill-riding/
Interesting
Basically with the Morftec in config "basebar" you can put your head at the place of the aerobar, and be in very optimal egg position
