Completely irrelevant IMO.
I have a fair share of digital tracks (and vinyl as well) that have drifting beats, computers run like clockwork, some older drum machines do not, and instruments played live that's an even whole other matter, it's not the medium it's the source that's the problem not the medium (even if these things can happen).
Either
A- you could warp the track but honestly you would just end up killing the swing of the track.
One common thing I've noticed with tracks that have drifting beats is that they have way more "swing" and someone work better on a mental level as well. Very abstract to put in words.
B- Beatgrid the track like there's no tomorrow(you can put multiple beatgrids in traktor) but considering your issue with not having more cue points, just beatgrids intro, mid and outro.
C- Beatmatch manually
. Sync is good, heck I use it a lot, but I always find myself doing manual adjustements shifting the tracks on the fly.
D- Some tracks are just a pain in the arse to deal with. Work at it!
