One of the uses of a Folder track though (apart from collapsing and hiding its children) is for shared Insert FX for all its tracks.
Clever though these routing workarounds are for bussing the contained tracks outside the folder and using the folder fader only as a VCA, if the "child" tracks don't pass audio through the folder then you can't use it to add a common EQ, compression etc.
So, I think there's still a valid Feature Request for an option to set up a standard folder which passes audio through it, but also acts as a VCA for the Sends Only of its child tracks.
