What would be the advantage to this? Seems like you'd be effectively hard-wiring the warp mode into the track by rendering with the warping on..

Me? I swear by re-pitch 90% of the time and use complex mode when the tempo disparity between the original and my intended use is drastic enough to warrant it.

The key to my statement is "once your satified with the sound". Then you should feel free to hard wire it. There are som many different ways to get terrific sounds and horrific sounds out of Live. People are just impatient and don't take the time to play with things until they're right. I had to do that today with the room recording of a live jazz concert. i used 2 stereo mics, one up front and one farther back in the room. I wanted to combine them so I lined them up, but to my surprise the room recording was actually longer. No time for the discussion of Physics on why this is, but I warped the room track and played with the parameters until is sounded damn good. Mixed it in. BAM. I now have a hot sounding Live jazz CD. (Ok some pun intended)
