Is the metronome still active during a real-time export? (just wondering, I can see why it would be off for a fast export).
Apparently not ... I heard it during regular playback, but not during real-time export ... hence, the bus export which had the metronome routed to it was an empty file ...

The disadvantage of the midi clip method is that it doesn't respect time sig changes without you manually editing the affected clips, which could become a pain if you have some weird rhythms going on.
An advantage, though, is that you can add extra accents and cues at strategic points to wake the drummer...
Exactly, that's why I would have favoured your "route-metronome-to-bus-and-export" suggestion ... however, my solution was to create an extra long groove clip, which would fit a 16/4 beat (if something like that exists?), and I just chop it to the actual required length (e.g. 5/4 beat) ... of course, inserting e.g. a single 2/4 requires to go in and do some quick manual edits (copy, split, drag to extend) ... but it does follow gradual tempo changes nicely, which was why I got into this in the first place
