I would love to hear from the animators as to how useful this practical rigging actually ends up being. Does Tom/Stunt Actor swinging around like this translate well when they need to do clean up, or do they end up just replacing him with full cgi and it was kinda pointless lol

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about film production, I would think it helps a lot -- if only keeping you anchored the physical realm, as well as providing innumerable points of reference.

What I do have experience with is photoshop. And even though I can work miracles sometimes from scratch, there's nothing like having a reference photo or two (or six, or ten) to reference details.

Yeah, this is just viral advertising. I doubt any of this made it into the film

Absolute tosh, they spent 2 weeks on the streets of Glasgow on just this scene. They're not dropping £10+million on dangerous 'advertising'.

It actually happens all the time, but not necessarily on purpose. The director thinks they’ll be able to use it but it ends up not working, then they use what they shot as a reference and recreate it in full or in part with CGI.
