What are your opinions on the use of fall-restraint devices when operating Group A MEWPs such as Scissor Lifts?

So on one hand wearing a harness with a Class 2 SRL type yo-yo should keep a person inside the scissor lift to prevent falling out of the basket, but in the event of tipping could it endanger the person by preventing escape?
Is it necessary to wear personal fall protection when there are guardrails with toe guards in place to keep the person inside the platform, provided the person closes the gate, follows proper safety precautions and keeps their full body inside, doesn’t lean, or stand on the railing?
Generally I lean towards, follow the GC recommendations, then the manufacturer guidelines. If either says wear it, wear it. If not, that’s a personal choice. Tho I’m open to argument.
