I've done both of these things (no choice, really). The first one is a pain because when you come back to a project later, you have the automation that controls the overall output level for a track in two different lanes, and you have to add them mentally to figure out what is going on. The second method is not real-time.
If you think this is a very esoteric feature -- making incremental touch-ups to fader automation in real-time -- it says to me that you probably haven't seen a really fast PT engineer doing this kind of thing with a control surface (fader). They aren't looking at anything or thinking about dB increments or anything like that, they are playing the audio and listening in real-time to the volume automation as they correct it. It's a very fast way to work that incorporates both the change to the automation and the listening / checking part in a single step (what you hear is what you get). And it leaves you with a single set of automation nodes in a single lane right where they should be.
