If the initial value of the fabric is important or if a state diagram is needed, it is advisable to use a flip-flop (FF) with a reset capability.
If the initial value is not important or a reset capability is unnecessary, choosing a FF without reset can result in less area, less logic, shorter delay, faster operation, and a higher operating frequency.
What pros and cons have you observed when using FFs without reset capability? How it affects FPGA's performance?

In SOFA HD, data-path FF has no reset capability.
According to my knowledge;
