Have a look at the making of Evangelion Rebuild 2.22 featurette:

For the running scenes there is a lot of work done in pencil before it transitions over to CG.  There's one shot of Unit 01 crouching to get ready to run (it's right at the beginning of the first video) that if you look closely you'll see was fully animated by hand, both keys and in-betweens, before they replaced it with a CG version.  Really the featurette just gives off the impression that they were unsure what methods they were going to stick with even quite far into production.  The whole thing looks inefficient.  I imagine this could be the case for many studios.
