I get what you are saying and I don't use Plural Eyes regularly, because it adds more complexity than its worth in Avid, unless you choose to create new media. In most instances I can sync faster and more accurately myself than PE. Premiere and FCPX have similar waveform based syncing functions built in, which is handy for those shoots where syncing "manually" is next to impossible or more time consuming than practical.
Not every project needs to maintain all the metadata contained in the original BWF files (and nobody is suggesting you toss the files away). If you don't need the metadata, then creating new media greatly simplifies the entire edit, without any loss in quality. If you do need it, and you can handle the extra layers of complexity in editorial, then go for it. Just be sure you know what you are doing, and have a well trained support staff using a sensible workflow or you will end up in the jam that our original poster finds himself mired in.
