Couldn't say better.

As I pointed out by my synth attack sync example: "it can help to at
least get coarse results very quickly"

This is much more true for good EQs. Sometimes I need to search a
culprit using a narrow bandwidth [1] using a parametric's EQ Q
and checking different frequencies, but at least a coarse mix can be
done without listening.

[1] Allow me to misuse this word ;).

It's not needed to know such things, if you get a feeling for it by
practise. Regarding the toy GUIs that show a graph. I'm not against
graphs, but they aren't (always) useful and I don't had them over
several decades when using analog mixing consoles.

PS:

IMO tablet PCs should be excluded from a discussion about Linux audio,
that usually doesn't run on tablet PCs. Touch screens have other
pitfalls.
