Essentially, not much has changed, as these big machines are diesel-electric. The solely purpose of the diesel engine was to power an electric generator. This part now has been replaced by batteries.
Even before, power was managed between driving and hydraulics so one could be favoured above the other. So it’s more only a benefit if both systems need maximum power simultaneously.

Well yes but doesn’t that meaner easier high impulse short duration bursts of power?

Yeah like for a momentary very high energy impulse of energy.
