Sure, any problem you might treat with an MM force field would be better
if you could afford a QM-MM treatment. My guess would be that most of
the value would be in a) not using atomic charges that are known to be
suited for some other environment, and b) having a polarizable charge.
QM is just an easy (but expensive) way to achieve that. There are
methods out there based on using QM fragments to do re-parameterization
of the MM charge on the fly.
but that can be avoided using a
frame that corresponds to the average system pose.
Using a single average (or representative) structure still assumes that
a single static picture is a valid model, and that's a big assumption.
