We actually have two road e-bikes in our small group and they are usually at the lower range of “boost” and just use it to keep up with the group. I have seen a few older road bikers cruising along at 20+ mph on a road where I would be doing 18-ish and struggling.
The biggest gripe I have with new e-bike owners is that they always want to go 50% farther than the rest of the group and are perfectly happy suggesting rides of 40 - 50 miles. And the latest thing is they suggest routes that have 2,000+ feet of vertical climb over a couple of hours. Sure, I can get there, but I’m not happy at the end of the ride. The dynamics of road rides (and, I’m sure, trail rides) is quickly changing.
