>You'd be surprised how many times I've replaced a GBDT with logistic regression and had negligible drop off in model performance with a dramatic improvement in both training time as well as debugging and fixing production models.
Not only reduced training time, but also less data needed for training. Which is particularly important if training on time-series data for something that changes over time, as older data is less useful.
