I don't believe you have to render the timeline before encoding, so 
it shouldn't be a problem for you. Encoding is its own rendering, and 
-- at least in my experience -- doesn't take advantage of earlier 
timeline rendering, which is primarily available to make viewing 
better during editing.

It may be worth a quick experiment: try encoding a two-minute 
sequence with unrendered video to see if it must be rendered before 
encoding. (All clips will remain unrendered after encoding if no 
rendering was required.) If no rendering is required, then you won't 
have to worry about the yellow bars and extra render time. I know my 
projects don't render before encoding.

I just tried that experiment with an AVCHD clip on my own system. I 
encoded the clip without rendering the timeline -- it took 46 seconds 
and didn't render the clip. I then rendered the timeline which 
rendered the clip, then encoded the now-rendered clip. Encoding took 
46 seconds, so there was no difference.

I don't think you have to worry about rendering the timeline before encoding.

P.S. Whose Nutcracker are you editing? I can't count the number of 
Nutcrackers I played in back in my musician days, and my retired 
ballerina wife had me sit through countless more of them when she 
danced them. I believe editing a Nutcracker might actually send me 
over the edge into Christmas insanity, so I'm always happy to hear of 
someone else gainfully employed doing it.
