This is a very good step to your work flow. Not only does it allow you to manage the resources in your computer it also future proofs your songs. If you want to revisit your song in a couple of years will you have the exact setup. Does the new version of your DAW still accept the older plugins.

The new marketing model is for subscription based vst's.

If you keep a dry version and wet version of your stems all you need is more hard drive space which is cheaper than ram and cpu.
