basically the accurate (bleep) external sidechain source for gating eliminates the hysteresis problem, and gives much more precise control over hold and release time. for me it kinda turns the gate into ASR volume envelope generator, which relies on musical information rather than audio signal. as long as the triggering midi notes are accurate. and, as reaper (and many other daws) provides pretty accurate transient-to-midi functionality, its just very practical and requires very little if any manual correction for the midi notes. as 'studio mixing' is mostly work with pre-recorded offline sources, that's just a practical method. unless the gate by itself is adding/producing some kind of wanted sound effect when reacting to the audio signal. which for me is mostly not the case.
in theory that could be possible with just by the gate itself, but it would require a ton of threshold automation. in practice for every single event. ^_^
