This woefully underrepresented format should be the standby for the high-handicapper. It is simply a better format for celebrating success instead of punishing failure.
I almost exclusively golf in a stroke play format and, as such, have adopted a quite conservative approach to the game. Even as a mid single digit, I very rarely make birdies or better and almost never make double bogeys or worse. I feel like my goal is typically to survive golf holes and avoid disaster rather than "attack" them. I imagine I would play differently if I played match play or stableford, especially against a player of equal skill but maybe had a touch more aggression about them.
