Every service is busy at peak (especially the 9.30am rush Monday - Friday) but those with DD and those upgraded tend to stay busy all day throughout the route. From experience I've not seen that with the X21. Its similar to the X22 and you'd wonder why that has a DD operation (obviously interworking helps) but if you see that service early morning or weekend, its generally rammed especially at Christmas
You are never going to get the perfect vehicle allocation. Despite it being every 7 minutes, you go to Eldon Square at rush hour and you'll see huge queues for the Angel and deckers getting filled up run after run and people complaining. But there's little GNE can do about it
That's the thing every service can be quiet/busy it just all depends, I've seen angel's arrive/depart its little standing room and I've also seen the, practically empty! It's the same with every service really.
