Full floating wrist pins are for ease of maintenance and disassembly, there is no performance gain.

With the correct retainers, full floating wrist pins are reliable. I rarely build an engine without full floating wrist pins, since I almost always use an aftermarket connecting rod and a premium piston. I prefer round wire locks, but spirolocks are fine.
