Not only gantry machines, but basically any machine with non-trivial kinematics. Take hexapod as an example - jogging only one of the joints will try to break the machine. IMHO jogging in joint mode is not needed in normal operation of machine - joint mode is for homing only, thus I think this INI file setting is ideal solution - if there are some problems (some damage to construction or whatever), when particular joint needs to be jogged separately, operator can close EMC2, set this parameter to 0 in INI file and then solve the issue. I have a noob question - what do I have to do with the patch to apply it?
