The one genuine advantage of the block connectors is rapid interchangeability. As ICBM points out, pickups can be changed in minutes.
I am in the habit of constructing hybrid circuits via the EMG 157c PCB Buss Board. On a two pickup bass guitar, this provides the option to configure the controls as vol/vol/tone, vol/balance/tone or anything else that appeals.
Strangely enough, the Fishman Fluence approach is a mixture of block connectors where they help and good, old-fashioned hard wiring everywhere else.
