Why is there no benefit to sensored? Wouldn't that give the ESC an advantage for performance if you could come up with software to take advantage of it? I would assume the more information the ESC knows for sure, the better.
No, because the sensor data is arbitrary to timing -- this is another reason why sensors are a bad idea -- the controller has no idea how much advance the sensors have. Also, usually there is some phase skew from sensors as well -- so that upsets timing as well. As the saying goes, Garbage in, Garbage out...

Adding sensor data to sensorless data would actually make timing worse, and reduce efficiency...
