"Apart from the cost, there's absolutely no reason at all why you'd ever want to run carbies over EFI.
EFI is better in every way that you can think of."
-- what about reliability, say your wishing to cross the nullabor, and your EFI pump shits itself, or a sensor goes (crank angle etc), or even an injector. Worst case scenario with a carby is not life threatning.

Reliablility is precisely why you'd choose EFI carbies every time. They are far more fault tolerant than carbies are, and have multiple failure modes that let the engine keep on going despite not much working at all.
If the pump shits itself, then it'll stop a couple of seconds faster than a carby-type car will. If an injector stops, then there's lots more to keep the engine going. I doubt the majority of the public would even notice an injector drop out on most engines these days under most conditions.
The gear that makes up a modern EFI setup is tested under far more dire conditions than carbies can handle. Most of the electronics can be completely submerged and there's no adverse effect at all, for example.
Do you think the people that build the Paris - Dakar off-roaders would choose carbies because of reliablity?
Um, no.
