RE “excessive parallelism “…what is “excessive” is a matter of taste, and a matter of usage. If you have something, you can use it or not…if you don’t have something, you can’t use it.
RE “marching”…there are other ways to use the chords in the illustration.
RE “three changes” etc. …I have no problem using 4 on my 4X5 E9/A6/B6/13 series unit.
OK, onward and upward; The claim was made by a chap not presently participating, that the more types of chord, and more places to find them on the neck is a plus (paraphrased). Lets look at the CM13 NC neck. First the NC neck as notes so you can find your favorite chords.

Using the CM13 NECK NOTES chart, and the assigned changes, let’s see how many 4 tone C chord types we can find on fret 0 using string 8 as the root string.

There are C notes on every string. A list of C chord types can be made for each of these C notes. If you run the lists out, you will find the same chord types at several places on the neck. This allows a degree of flexibility in morphing from chord to chord in a progression.
