Yeah try it. It is a useful plugin. It is efficient too. When mixing I sometimes use it on individual tracks as well, often with a little lookahead/smoothing.

Just one thing I should add:
I routinely upsample stuff that I know will have to go through substantial processing, specifically compression and/or limiting. But if I can tell on a first listen that it will only be a touch of eq here and there, then the upsampling may not be worth it.
I in doubt I just render it at both samplerates and A/B.

cheers,
