I wonder why you say that it's a disaster waiting to happen, though. Certainly it's already done in sequencers, and the results are decent, at least.

It's done with sequencers, yes. BUT, then the composer is dealing with a drastically finite set of possible variables. The samples (I assume here, I don't know - correct me if I'm wrong) only offer a few possible sounds.
There's an impossible number of variables (plus x number of derivatives) that performers spend YEARS trying to learn about and understand - let alone master. Composers opening that can-of-worms are in for a rude surprise. There's SO MANY infinitely subtle things a performer controls - things they often aren't even aware of - that affect the performance.
I, for one, would NEVER consider trying to understand the nuances of viola bowing techniques
alone - forget trying to control and perfect EVERY aspect of that instrument's performance. Now do that for
every instrument in the orchestra.... A daunting task. Perhaps there'll be a decade or so where NO new music is produced - just tweaked.
