Overview
Allowing recipients to convert the signature flow to a written signature style is generally a good idea if you depend on a fast signature process and you have some latitude in the signature style applied to your document.
Signers that aren't comfortable with electronic signatures can place a physical signature, and the process moves ahead, instead of having another meeting to allay any fears about what an electronic signature is.
Best practices
Allowing a recipient to convert their signature process into a written one is best done when agreements are only sent to one recipient, and your internal signature demands are not strongly demanding an electronic signature.
Best use cases are high-volume sales that are delivered to recipients in a more business-to-customer format where resistance to electronic signatures is more likely.
