Less surface contact=less resistance. You could experiment with which shape and patern works the best.

My initial thoughts are that like the nubs on a roller hockey puck, these things would be more likely to wear and break than the slide plates themselves. Also, depending on the backing of the rivets, I might be hesitant to put them on. Those backings would be coming into direct contact with the PU leather on your pads and could possibly put pressure/wear points on your pads.
