Well it'd be as close as we can get to a true estimation of expected variance, and allow for more precise bankroll management, etc. I think we've all realized most of those things through shared experience by this point, but it never hurts to have some numbers to back it up.

Can't you do that in PT under the Sessions tab and click More Detail? Gives you a SD/100 hands (this will somewhat underestimate your variation around your expectation since hands aren't entirely uncorrelated)... this is more directly a measure of your variance. The edge stat can be quite low (indicating high variance) if a player frequently makes large bluffs while the true variance is lower because the player impeccably choses these large bluffs in spots where he is never called.
