Not with triax rigging because of the way higher resource requirements of the facial rigging and extra bones including those in the hands, feet, neck and heel, which is why it was dropped and Dual Quaterion rigging is used instead. Also with the new rigging it can be imported into Maya, 3dsmax, modo, or any other app that supports the rigging.

I'd expect rigged expressions to use fewer resources than morphs. Of course, I suppose the morphs wouldn't be loaded in Studio unless they were actually dialed in...

It is both resources (skinning is heavier than morphs in general) and ease to weight map it. Tri-Ax uses 7 weight maps per bone, with the number of bones involved, that is prohibitive (both ways). Dual Quaternion is one map per bone.
