You could do what I've been doing since probably 2001 or earlier.
"Roll your own audio metronome"
Of course any metronome setup with this method can be exported by itself or along with any track(s) in the project,
or of course, muted before export of the final track.
Here's a quick tutorial I wrote on how to with some clicks to download.
For me it's the ultimate metronome with absolutely full control, even to the point of morphing from a 4/4 feel to a 3 against 4 feel, or from 4/4 to 3/4 etc. for certain passages within a piece, all controlled with envelopes.
An added perk for me is summing all metronome tracks to a bus, midi learning the mute (on/off) for that bus to a fader on my keyboard, and midi learning the volume for that bus to an other fader on my keyboard.
