Excellent for content creation, but can then turn it off?

Description
I'd like to maybe use Book, so I thought maybe it would work to enable the module when creating/adding my static hierarchical content, and otherwise leaving it off.
Would that be a fix for the incompatibility with Book? Other known incompatibilities?
Does the module add value interactively, actually modify the visitor's page rendering? My menuing highlights and breadcrumbs seem to still work find with NH disabled. . .
Are there scenarios when it would be needed for active highlighting/breadcrumb support that I just haven't hit yet?

Sorry it took so long to get back.
I see no reason why you couldn't use this module to set up your menu tree and then turn it off. Embedding children views would no longer work, but if you're not using them then that's no loss. The menu items nh creates are perfectly orndinary menu items and should function just fine without node hierarchy.
You could even uninstall (ie: delete the nodehierarchy db tables) if you didn't ever plan on enabling the module again, but if you do intend to re-enable the module for site updates then i would not recommend uninstalling again.
I hope this answers your question.

Thanks Ronan, I came back to check as I've noticed my primary/secondary highlighting (active class generation) is no longer working when the visitor gets tertiary or deeper (seems to be default (IMO buggy) Drupal behaviour)
I believe I may have batch edited my menu links to point to the path'd aliases rather than directly to the internal node addresses, I'll have to check it out, maybe set up a test site to start again from scratch.
While I'm at it I'm trying to find a reliable, generalized method to make sure my p/s menu links are always appropriately classed active, ideally based on the path alias URL, eg all pages under /about/facilities/sports would always highlight both the primary link to /about and the secondary link to /sports, no matter how the visitor arrived at that page, and ideally even if the current location isn't even in the menu system - asking a lot I know, but I was thinking this is possibly something that would fit within nh's scope? If so, consider this a feature request :)
If not, any pointers to help a noob research what would be involved?
