Good point, although I think that solo references have come up also
because they're easier to find. When (if?) I have time I'm sure I could
come up with several ensemble examples...

This is exactly my point: you, the *composer*, have taken a decision not
to utilise 128th notes for the reasons you explain. This is a decision
that should not be take by the software you choose.
I don't know how many flags Finale and Sibelius support, but Lilypond
should at least equal those programs' capabilities.
(And I'm not arguing that this should be a high priority RFE - I
appreciate the amount of work involved - just a goal.)
