I've heard some people say not to use a AGB for a SHTF/HD/SD gun, but I can't stand shooting mine suppressed without the gas turned down. Major gas to the face and hard to control with hot 5.56 NATO. I've used the SLR blocks on all of my rifles since I got a suppressor. Still, I can't help but feel like it's a failure point waiting to happen compared to a fixed block. But maybe I'm overthinking things. I can't seem to find any negative feedback about SLR gas blocks failing. And even if it's my primary HD/SD rifle, it's likely I'll only ever need to defend myself with a few shots, not wage a war with an army.
