Has anyone compared this method with updating, checking the update
count, and doing an insert if it was zero?
Is there any performance/stability/elegance differences?

This is exactly how Database Workbench creates an
INSERT/UPDATE procedure if you right-click on a
table and select "Create SUID Procedures" ;-)

Isn't that convenient.
