I sometimes use a similar technique, but adding the use of
:MorphPolygon(selected)
That way you can use traces to shape a polygon, morph it, and then
delete the traces but whilst keeping the shape they gave to the
polygon.
There are some disadvantages to :MorphPolygon(), but it can be very
useful at times.
I recommend playing with it for a while before letting it loose on a
polygon you've put a lot of time into
