I'm currently using this technique to autocrop renders coming out of Houdini because no one on the CG side has been able to figure out how to get Houdini to do it like it should.
So yeah, it can be very useful. Knowing how execute() works though is really a vital part of a TD's Nuke toolbox because it gets a lot of use in automation.
