When is subsystem reference a better choice than model reference?
I am trying to understand the difference between “model reference” and “subsystem reference”. I came across this documentation page, but no matter how many use-cases I reviewed, I never seem to end up with a “subsystem reference”. From the flow chart shown in that page, the only way conclude with “subsystem reference” is when the block does not have a defined interface, or is not re-used or does not change. These are the antithesis of arguments for any creating any type of subsystems. Can someone comment on practical situations when a “subsystem reference” will be useful over “model reference”? Are there computational costs associated with “model reference”? I am inclined to believe that in practical cases in the industry, “subsystem references” are rarely used.

Subsystem References is new functionality to Simulink, it is only supported since R2019b. So industry will only slowly evolve to using the functionality.
I will try to explain use-cases for using Subsystem Reference, and contrast it with Model Reference. Both are saved into their own .slx file, and are referenced by a parent model. The difference is that with Model Reference, the signal interfaces are fixed, such as data types and signal dimensions. With a Subsystem Reference, these interfaces do not need to be fixed. You can use a Subsystem Reference in multiple instances where one instance receives a scalar while another instance receives a vector signal. This is similar to using a library block: the same library block can be used for different instances with different signal dimensions or data types. A Model Reference only accepts signals of a fixed data type and dimensions.
Besides this, a Model Reference can have its own Configuration Parameters and Model Workspace, while a Subsystem does not have it and inherits this from the parent model.
I would say that a Subsystem Reference is more closely related to a library subsystem, with the advantage that:
