Mostly yes, depends on context.

I find SA horrible in races against other cars. It often wants you to drive the same lines as the bots. Well they sometimes choose horrible lines! It also fights you if you slide off track, won't let you take the fastest line back on track (especially SA high)

For time trials you can use SA on many tracks. However it will buture your time in the bus stop on Porsche short & long tracks (and some other tracks). I personally don't like it though, it still fights me. The only time I use SA is on Daytona & Indy Speedway. There it helps me to go a bit faster by smoothing out corner input.

I never use BA or traction if I'm trying to race fast or have fun.

If I don't care and I'm just grinding through then I run unserviced, Tilt A, BA high, SA high, TC on. I used to do this when grinding through series. I would bot slow at a drag race then just race the whole series that way. But I found that I started to hate the game that way. It was just so boring, such a waster of time. Now I'm back to completing things as fast as possible, cut off-track, slam bots, then service when needed. WAY more fun!! I made through 50% of the McLaren 650S GT3 in one sitting that way. Won several cup & Elimination races against very hard bots but cutting and pitting like mad. Can't do that on all tracks though!
