A decent workaround is to assign an arrange window track to the bus you want to automate. Insert a blank region with the pencil and extend to the duration of the track. Turn on the blue region hyperdraw mode and automate a sharp volume dip down to 0db on a beat you know there's a transient. Use the region track delay parameter to find the point your envelope is triggering at the right point. Now you can draw automation with decent resolution within that region. Can work on any plug-in parameter the track automation can. If you add plugs with latency to that bus, simple adjust the delay parameter (positive or negative delay) of the region. It's a few extra steps, but not too bad while running multiple audio systems.
