Hi Parkgt, I wish I never asked...
to much information... haha, so now I know we are definitely talking Mechanical Shutters and not Apertures as was mentioned in the earlier posts, I quickly found a few good sites explaining it is some detail, my new Cannon is shutter-less (mirror-less) electronic, I hadn't really looked into the pros and cons and to be honest there is no mention of Rolling Shutter distortion in their spec.
I think for very poor light, portrait, incandescent light source and neon mechanical would be an advantage, also if the capture scan rate of the sensor is not great in electronic mode this might help, having said that I cant see me doing many portraits with my drone or flying around close to neon lights, at a distance on wide aperture at night it would be unlikely to have an effect, it does seem basically for still cameras.
A link which covers it in some detail but not enough to give you a headache...

I think it comes down to what you are going to do with your drone and personal preference, but I am glad you raised it as electronic still cameras are quite new as you will know, 30 years of photography and still learning, but of course until the last couple of years there was nothing to really compare each option with... there is now.... !
DJI obviously think there is a benefit, or perhaps their scan rate is not so good on that particular camera... who knows as there is no tech data on it that I can find... always suspicious...
So I guess the choice is yours, well whoever is buying it...
Last thing, the EVO 2 has an exceptionally fast scan rate matching the 1" sensor, I think it would be hard to beat even with a mechanical shutter.
Cheers
PS I will let you know as my EVO 2 is on it's way, have the EVO 1 at the moment and can;t sing it's praises to much, I hope the new 6K Pro will be as good and hopefully a lot better as it is truly 6K, my PC struggles a bit when down converted to 4K so hopeful it won't just stop...

Electronic Shutters vs Mechanical Shutters – What Is The Difference?
DSLR camera’s use a mechanical shutter, while the majority of mirrorless cameras have an electronic shutter. Let's look at the pros and cons of each
