I don't claim to know anything about the commercial recording process.
I would, however, guesstimate that digital remastering is worthwhile for
the following reason -- the integrity of signals recovered from an analog
tape decays as the tape is used over and over (e.g. record production runs),
although I can't say at what rate this occurs. As long as the 1's and 0's 
are distinguishible from the digital tape, the integrity of the resulting
analog signal remains constant.
