Well, I'll chime in. I just purchased a 367. From what I've read running backstays are used to counteract the force of using the inner forestay, the staysail. Going wing on wing you won't be using the staysail so you won't be using the running backstays for that point of sail.
I sailed across the atlantic (2017) on a Tartan 41 (circa 1975). It had an inner forestay for a storm jib and running backstays. We didn't use any of it.
Going upwind in strong winds, a reefed main and no genoa, a staysail on the boom. Use the windward running backstay.
That's all I've got.
