My 2 cents.
When I tried the Elephant a while back, I found it too "clippy". I.e. it didn't soften the material as much as an L2 in ARC, but it was also quite aggressive.

Trouble for me was, I found it (for my use) to not be enough of a limiter. I.e. when I wanted to avoid distortion, the Elephant was too sharp. And when the material could handle the sharpness of the Elephant, oversampled clipping worked better instead. So I didn't really have a use for it. That was v2 though, I believe, though it may even have been v1. Maybe I should try out v3.
