Some flexibility might be good, like the possibility to specify some "principal" route segments. However I am not sure that it would add anything that can't be done with via points quite easilly. I would hate to get back to the point where every tiny way-piece has to be added to the relation, including segments of roundabouts and nonsense like artificially fixing the route to a particular lane/track if multiple are available just because a way must be selected.
