I have to agree.
This is the combination I used earlier this year for an outdoor music festival.
I'd tried Fuji Press the previous year and not impressed. So this year
decided to travel light and B&W. No OMs -- just a mju-2 and Leica CL + 40/2 +
90/4.
IMO the film/dev combination worked well to capture the atmosphere of the event.
Not everyone's cup of tea but I was pleased with the results.
Here are a couple of examples from the event:

This one is scanned from a print -- I tried split-grade to increase the
contrast of the lights with the night sky, and bring out some detail in
the group. Olympus mju-2. TMZ3200 @ 3200 + Rodinal 1:50.

Taken with the Leica, and scanned from incomplete negatives (I had a
"processing error" -- very embarrassing). But for me anyway they capture
the mood. TMZ3200 @ 1600 + Rodinal 1:50.

A couple more with the Leica. Grain indeed!
