For anything to do with engineering and science for sure, but Imperial has a certain romantic charm for civilian use.
I set a more intuitive variant of metric for Starship: tons for force and mass, bar for pressure. It’s easier to do mental math, eg thrust to mass ratio, than using newtons, kilograms and pascals.
