My friend says that this is stupid, that I should choose just one tempo, preferable the chorus one (cause being the most important) and use it for the whole song, cause a varispeed or multitempo track adds nothing but troubles for me and the musicians and the song has to feel right in a constant tempo.

There two kinds of dynamics in music - volume and tempo. Putting music to a grid reduces 50% of them. It amazes me how everyone is crying the blues about the loudness wars killing dynamics - yet recorded everything snapped to a grid.
I think the point here is that the use of grids or tempo fluctuation
should be used to serve the song... it should NOT be about lack of talent. IE some music will sound better snapped to a grid - depends on the vibe of the song. Other songs (most IMO) sound better and draw the listener in with subtlle dynamic build ups/downs in energy through the use of fluctuating tempo and volume.
I think theres a reason orchestras have conductors and not a big MOFO metronome on stage.
