Their reasoning was that for a live mixing environment I would not really need to have tactile control of that many parameters. Once it would be set up in rehearsals, I would basically mostly need tactile control of track volumes, cue function, and maybe a couple of other things. The chance of moving the wrong control in the heat of a live theater mix would be less.

Sounds like good advice - one function per control can be a good thing. Simple is good.
Another tip for live stuff is to have something like a panic button, or a simple, failsafe method of taking everything back to a known state.
And be aware that Ableton Live is, unfortunately, not totally reliable. Having a backup laptop setup may be important if you can't afford to reboot on stage every few shows.
