Based on available information, I'm guessing the prior scenario with
something like a filtered sequence feeding a phase modulator to
generate GMSK or similar non-linear CPM signal. In cases like these,
is the phase modulator really necessary?

Many non-linear digital modulations in use these days have some form
of linear representation that is more efficient to implement on
vector-capable hardware. One solution to the rotator inefficiency
might be to get rid of it entirely.
