Yep, for what I know it comes bundled with it's own ready to use built-in render farm app. Which is awesome!
As for Hiero, I think it still has its place in long format projects where the people handling the transcoding, conform, VFX shot generation, ftrack/shotgun data feeding, etc aren't the ones that have a real need for Nuke. At O2 for instance in long format projects (features and episodic) Hiero seats are on the ingest/conform department where they barely have any need to edit comp projects or even should. So Nuke Studio would make little sense there. Nuke artists there also have little use for a full blown Hiero seat, a HieroPlayer is more than sufficient, so it all makes sense. On the other hand, Nuke Studio fits perfectly on the commercials department where the compositors are basically in charge of everything from start to finish except the grading.
