I also use that same serial connection to enable the logging program to
note the exact frequency in use at the time of the QSO, or to have the
computer be able to QSY on a mouse click.
It's not a complication, it's a convenience. In the case of FT8, the
serial connection is THE way to operate split in DXpedition mode.

While thousands may use VOX
I'm one of those, and I've done it for many years with everything
from RTTY to SSB to FT8, JT65, JT9, and MSK144. It works VERY well.
It's one less connection to worry about, and it works fine. I do a
LOT of contesting, and a wild guess is that I've done at least 20,00
QSOs this way.
If you WANT to use PTT, be my guest, but you're adding un-necessary
complication to your setup.
