Maybe this is hard to quantify and probably very route dependent, but how much time do you think you spend in the aerobars on a road ultra? Maybe this is an area I could improve in, I thought I was spending as much time as poss in them, but I'm sure it accounted for way less than half the overall time. The weather (and wind) was bad the entire time, and the roads were bumpy (Belgium) but perhaps this is a skill I can work on.

If you're on the aerobars you don't really grip the bars. Maybe you're overestimating how much time you were using them. Particularly hilly and/or rough courses you might find you're not using them much at all.
