I personally think it would be valuable. Valikorlia is uses NPCs for so many different things that can't easily be replicated in tiles. For a large block of trees, which are used to make a kind of modular forest, it took me about a half our to get the setshape2 right, so that players are able to walk through it.

It does sound like a lot of work, though, which is why I've never tackled the project myself.
