There’s no particular reason to believe that this particular problem would be 
easier to resolve with a cell-based table.

The practical benefit is to free you from having to use NSCells, which are 
obsolescent if not obsolete. There’s “more work” in the sense that if a single 
view cell contains multiple UI elements, there’s more to do per view cell. 
There’s “more work” if you’re using autolayout within a view cell. Other than 
those things, I’m not sure what extra work is created.

This is unrelated to the issues you’ve raised in this thread. You can of course 
choose to bypass autolayout in any XIB file (uncheck “Use Auto Layout” in the 
File inspector) or any view sub-hierarchy (use 
translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints on the topmost level view that you 
want to disconnect from autolayout).
