anybody know about those gutters that diffuse the water at the edge of
the roof (so you don't need a trough and downspout)? specifically do
they work? how well can they handle heavy water flow?

I remember reading about them, but can't find much with google, which
makes me think they may not work well

They are good advertisers. They spill water around/near your
foundation, promoting water damage, encouraging insects and fungus.
Water should be carried at least 10 feet from the foundation--not even
a typical splash block can do.
