I'm sure Chris's intention with this plugin wasn't necessarily to make people worry over inaudible distortions in audio quality and make them feel forced to use it. I use bitshiftgain/pan for when a large increase/decrease in gain is necessary so I may as well use the plugin that's "technically correct"
All of Chris's other plugins (with a few exceptions) use some form of dither or high precision noise shaping for gain staging, which is better than what you'd get in a DAW but I really wouldn't worry about it too much. I generally use my DAW's sliders when mixing and then when it comes time to master I'll try and set my DAW's volume sliders to neutral and use PurestGain instead. (Or BitShiftGain if I'm able to.)
