It would be beyond pointless and into the area of brain damage to track through any plug. The only conceivable valid reason for doing the above in any fashion would be monitoring... like if the singer insists on hearing reverb on their voice, etc... but certainly DO NOT under any circumstances record the affected track.
It has already been digitized before the plug, so running it through the plug while tracking would have literally the exact same results as doing it later... except you would lose the ability to undo it if you later discover that your particular settings weren't ideal... all downside... zero upside.
If your system is so lacking that it simply cannot do all the processing you require of it on mixdown, then you may need to do some sort of affected stems or what have you to lighten the load... but at least if it was tracked dry, you can always go back later if you need to make changes.
