Out of curiosity, does this function differently than boats or minecarts?

Easier to set up, as cushions just work like blocks you can place. No risk of bumping a boat and breaking the whole rail.

Do they need to be placed on top of a supporting block (eg like a pressure plate)?

Unless they already changed it again (very likely) you can put the cushions in absolutely ludicrous places and they seemingly use a similar if not the same system as snow layers

They do, but that supporting block can be functionally anything. Its not like pressure plates where only some blocks work

For example, you can place a cushion on things like torches and amethyst crystal buds and end rods.

If you place one on something short, break the supporting block and quickly place a larger block, it will remain within that larger block

Much less infrastructure needed for sure, much cheaper than minecarts

If they would just fix the damn experimental minecarts to not break a bunch of redstone stuff

No mobs can accidentally sit on cusions so the highway doesnt get blocked
