I was glad to test it, as I wanted to know, too.

I believe your conclusion is correct that you would want to use the Utility track(s) only when the song form is finished.

It's possible something will change but my understanding is that it is not correct to call this copy/paste. You use the Copy Special, Move track menu command. I even requested during testing that they make it a drag and drop. What it does now is make a copy of the entire track. Perhaps copying part of a track will come in the future. For now, you get the whole track and you edit that in the place it falls.
