I'd think east-west bifacial vertical PV makes more sense the further from the equator one gets, simply because of how much wilder the sun angle swings are over the course of a year.
One could of course set up something mechanized to follow the sun over the course of the year, but that's a new point of failure that could easily negate the advantage of agrivoltaics being set-and-forget.
