If you want to make a really tight right angle turn, you're going to have to come to an effective stop anyway because you can only get so much traction. I don't think that the fraction of a second where your steering motor happens to be pushing you in the right direction is going to be worth it in any FRC application.
On the other hand, it may be worth an experiment or two to see if the self-correcting nature of having the wheel trail the steering axis improves drive handling and stability.
