I just wanted to provide some data points about full meshes because, I think that every network I've worked on with RRs, had RRs not because it was well thought out and clearly the best thing to do for that network, they had RRs because earlier someone just assumed RRs were needed.

Many here, myself included, would think they were right. I think you
start with the assumption you need RR and provide strong rationale why
not. And if no one feels strongly, do RR.
