The short of it is that you need to consider what dependencies the assets your bringing in require... and then assess exactly what AtomKraft rendering is relevant for. For instance, hierarchical animation rigs for characters and their associated skin deformation system may not translate to Nuke at all, depending... and the result is maybe that particular asset can't go thru Nuke/AtomKraft... though maybe 4 other passes needed for your final comp can utilize this workflow.
These are the skills a CG supervisor would have to consider, and if in a smaller independent production... that'd be you.
