Black Tie shirt Collars: wingtip vs. turndown

Hi all, I'm looking for some practical advice regarding black Tie shirts collars.
I think a wingtip looks quite striking, and since black tie is quite exotic to be, I'm inclined to go all out.
However: 1) The MFA guide seems to recommend a "normal" turndown collar https://malefashionadvice.substack.com/p/black-tie-guide
2) the kings of Spain and England (whose style chops I was introduced to by Derek Guy) wear turndowns.

So I'm torn. Is the wingtip collar really as uncomfortable as the guide says?
Btw I'm especially interested in customs in Germany.
