And

Midi clock + song position pointer is useful

or

MTC without Midi clock and without song position pointer is useful.

It's still unclear if there are enough devices using MIDI tick, I don't 
know any.

I don't think you'll use all kinds of sync at the same time and in 
general it's a good idea to use several MIDI IOs, e.g. to use SysEx on 
real-time.

Anyway, using pitch bend also causes a lot of traffic and there will be 
no trouble because of this. You shouldn't fear too much traffic, MIDI 
isn't that slow.
