I did a bunch of research and found a forum of UK boulderers discussing pullups and a survey looking at top climbers on the forum. No one who could climb 8a or higher could do more than 8 pullups. Most people were in the 10-15 range and there were tons of stories of people who could do 30+, quit them and started climbing higher grades than ever. Pretty insane
I am climbing 2x week and doing chins at most 2x, but mainly just once a week for a weighted session. I don't even think they matter for you and I right now regarding getting to consistently send V3-V5. I watch people who look much weaker/fatter than me flash intermediate boulders all the time due to nice technique.
However, since my workout goals always start with aesthetics first I don't want to comptely neglect chins. But I could see a world where multiple times a week high volume chins are a detriment to hitting harder grades.
