Oh my god I can't believe you MasterBroccoli.

An increase in creation speed is ALWAYS a good thing. End of story.

You can get the tech from one of your super cheap 488 stone Frankish Castles while advancing to the Imperial Age, then once you get to imp the Cavalier upgrade will be researched a lot faster, but most notably, the Paladin upgrade will be much quicker. And then any cavalry you make after that will be created 40% faster.

This means that if your opponent attacks you earlier and you are still making your army... well if you were the Franks making Paladins after researching Chivalry, you would've finished making the bulk of your army already.

Paladins are made to stay, but not Light Cavalry. And in the expansions here with this unique tech, and the overall buffs to the Franks, in post-imp their trash is actually decent because they can spam their 72 HP light cav 40% faster than other civ. The light cav are still shit compared to Hussars; it's bad. And fast. Bad and fast is something that works in trash wars.

I still can't believe anyone would try to claim that a tech that buffs the work rate of the Franks' most important building is "least viable". That's just crazy talk. Next you're gonna say that the Celts' team bonus is useless 11
