Carbon props on the Mavic are useless outside of aesthetics. Your drone is limited by electronics, so you are doing nothing by adding a stiffer prop in stock form. Have you ever seen the videos of the unlocked Mavics? They will ascend and descend thrice as fast as stock, but DJI limits that for smoother control and to prevent loss of control from prop wash. Also, those look dangerous with the screw, as that is a likely point of failure with the constant vibrations. There is a reason for the push-pin design, which is that it is far more reliable. Next, those things have very questionable looking quality, and who knows if they're even balanced. I've seen the videos of those things, and I bet they're not. Finally, being that those weigh a decent amount more than stock, you will decrease the battery life while flying.
So have you held them in your hands, looked at the cnc machined aluminum hubs? They are balanced and the hub bolts are secured with thread compound - so you're wrong all all accounts.
Testing also showed increased flight time (although not very significant).

I would agree they may not have any flight benefit but in terms of resisting failure during a brush with branches or other vegetation I think they offer some value.
I love when people jump all over you just for posting something interesting.
Cheers,
