Singletrack and Dropper Posts?

There are some trails in my area that are part gravel/dirt roads but part moderately-technical single track.  I've ridden them on my gravel bike without TOO many "oh sh!t" moments, but especially on steep drops i would love to have my seat lower.  It seems like a dropper post is the perfect solution for this but I was curious if anyone else has done this and what their experience is?

If I was riding exclusively gravel I'd see no need for it, but the trails that are part single track are about 3x closer than the nearest good gravel roads, so I foresee spending a decent amount of time there.

 

If you're riding steep singletrack, I think it's a great idea. I think it greatly increases the capability and versatility of the bike.
