Like with most automation systems, TC is great when it works to your an advantage, and an annoyance when it doesn't work and it should, or when it just gets in the way. That's why they provide the option to turn it off when it's not going to do the right thing (same as the TC system in my car...).
Again, I live in a very urban area with all the same problems. The TC on level 2 was kicking in whenever I headed across the steel expansion plate at the rail overpass a half mile from my door. Switch to level 1 and it doesn't do that ... and I can't find anything that it's annoying me with such that I'd turn it off, so I leave it on level 1. Like ABS, it should just work when needed and be invisible otherwise.
Off-road use is where you sometimes have to turn TC off on a bike, because you're expecting the rear wheel to spin and counting on it as part of your methodology for handling with a motorcycle on a loose surface.
