Conductor is not the same thing as the Pause Playback till MIDI Received option, which is a lot older as far as when the feature was implemented. Try it for live gigs, it should work okay.

The only erratic Conductor action I've experienced ever was when I was trying to use softsynths for the MIDI, even if the song had no MIDI parts in it. Hardware MIDI Synth seems to have solved that problem entirely. Try using ASIO sound drivers with softsynth and conductor, with proper ASIO buffer settings I was able to get it to work as advertised. Couldn't set it to the fastes ASIO possible on my machine, but was able to get it to work and use it.
