I tend not to use it. Part of it is old school habit of wanting to be in control of exactly when I shoot.
I do bracket exposures, but usually minus only and do it with EC
However I have used auto bracketing when shooting Panos.
Coming from View cameras & Hasselblads, I am already a more frugal shooter than most.
I fully understand that there are lots of reasons to use bursts, just not so much in the work I do.

Interesting question and some even more interesting comments.
As a photographer who grew up with film I can't imagine ever wanting to use burst mode for a landscape. Let alone process them in a darkroom. But that aside, a landscape photo op for me is more about contemplation of what I want to capture. I may take 3-4 shots, chimping after each and maybe fine tuning exposure or composition. I get much of the satisfaction of my hobby from seeing the result I achieved is exactly what I envisioned at the moment of shutter release. Doesn't happen very often of course.
I read that some cameras now offer 6K video that allows you to grab a still that has exceptional quality. Now that's a burst mode extraordinaire for those that are in a hurry.

Chose the right weapon for the battle. If you are in a hurry, say on a tour, or moving from spot to spot and don't have a lot of time, and lighting conditions are changing, consider shooting in burst but bracketing with exposure. I typically have a memorized setting where I can rapidly switch to burst, exposure bracketing in case I run across something and don't have time to really stop and ponder my exposure a lot. I typically use ettr method but once in a while, I'm forced to shoot and move.

Maybe not typical of landscape stuff, but may come a time where it might help.

From Adams and White I learned spray and pray, and the tradition of post visualization.

So I can shoot 6K video at 30fps for about 20mp or I can just shoot at 30fps for 45+mp.

Yep, if I’m going out to shoot landscapes I’m on a tripod and taking my time. But often I’m hiking with a group and can’t do that.

I shoot burst shots of nothing. I take multiple shots of everything I like that hangs around long enough. I expect variations even if I do not see them as I shoot. I do not want 500 shots of an event that I am photoing for personal satisfaction. I am too old to do all that editing!

Exactly.

Here an HDR exposure-bracketed burst of five shots (set up in the camera to do the shutter-speed bracketing) of five burst shots, merged in LR. Horseshoe Bend and the Colorado River, Page, Arizona. Sony A7RIV camera, Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 lens, 17mm, ISO 100, f8, shutter speeds bracketed in five-shot burst, camera on a tripod.

Cheers and best to you.

On some camera's you can set your burst to give you 3,5,7,or more exposures. Say your shooting a burst of 5, two will be under exposed (you can set the parameters for this, say each is .7 stops, or .3 stops) One will be dead on and two will be for overexposures)
On some camera's you can also set a burst for HDR (high density range) same concept, you can set how many you want in a burst.
On a Nikon camera, they call it something different but it is the same concept.
But as far as basic burst mode, say you want to shoot 10 fps, on a DSLR sometimes each exposure would be different just because on a DSLR with the mirror slap and the high frame rate some exposures will change, but on a mirrorless camera that may not always be the case because their is no mirror slap.
Personally I have never used burst mode when shooting landscapes. I usually shoot in manual with a mirrorless cause I can see what each exposure will look like before I shoot. In the fall I will use enhancement filters for fall foliage, again with a mirrorless I can see what I am getting, usually for fall foliage, I will underexpose a lot to bring out more vivid colors.

Maybe if it's very windy or if there is a lot of animal activity.

5 over, 1 on, 5 under, ..... Just in case....
Take 100 subject item shots, now one has 1,100 images to go through. Just in case tweaking in an editor won't work "correctly"?
Nope, nope, nope.
Seems like Spray and Pray to me.

I might try this in a low light situation when using high ISO and then stacking them to get a better signal to noise ratio. Much like what astrophotographers do with very faint objects.

So correct, if you are bracketing and wish to 3 or 5 in the bracket (example) during a landscape shoot, just hold down the button and it is an instant shoot. Important as wind and clouds are moving.
