Makes no difference to anything.

DD was fully engaged at 31 weeks, born 8 weeks later.

DS never engaged, born at 37 weeks.

DS was undiagnosed breech.
DD moved up and down, in and out of being engaged.

Both were emcs.

Sorry not what you were hoping for but ds2 was engaged at 38 weeks and then disengaged, was subsequently born at 42+2 via c section as he had no intention of coming on his own. We always joke that he was too comfortable in there nothing to do with the fact that he was a 10lb 2oz porker, no
