I rarely find situations where I want to use this knot over a trucker's hitch (which trades some ease of adjustment for significant mechanical advantage when tensioning). I have combined the two from time to time (using the adjustable hitch to secure the working end)

That's fair, I too use a trucker's hitch for the ridgeline of a tarp.

However, I'll use adjustable grip hitches for the guylines. That lets me freely adjust how my tarp is placed and holds up the tension reasonably (from experience, the friction hitch on paracord could do with tightening every 1.5 days or so). It's also quicker to tie and uses less cordage, so that's a plus.

Combining the two straight up never occurred to me. Will definitely give that a shot :)

Clove hitch on a bight is great for guylines too.

Try the Versatackle! It's like a trucker's hitch but self-locking and IMO easier to tie.
