I think these voice quote are only if you have a TDM plugin before the RTAS plugin. If the only plugs in your strip are RTAS, then you only give up the one voice (I think). Because of this, if I'm specifically using an RTAS plug, I'll switch the other plugs before it to RTAS too if possible.
You can also get shocking amounts of latency by following TDM plugs with RTAS. With today's computer power I now feel more comfortable having a smattering of RTAS plugs in a large session.
If RTAS plugs aren't reporting their latency correctly, this is a bug in those specific plugs - not an RTAS problem.
