For me, on bigger score mixes where obviously locked-picture is unknown, and the composer send me additional tracks even before the final bounce, it is a great time saver to use clip effects. No need for many additional tracks, no need for additional automation. Although I only scratched the surface, but treating a problematic track with clip effects, then use my "beauty" plugins to make it great is a great time saver. And obviously if you move your clip, your treatment goes with it, anywhere in the session.
