I just asked around here and it seems like most people are rendering ProR=
es Quicktimes with audio, regardless of whether or not there is audio, si=
mply because that's what they've set the default to and they never change=
 it.

Apparently if they have to re-render a Quicktime file that originally had=
 an audio track, ie making changes or fixes, and the newer version doesn'=
t have an audio track then Final Cut will not be happy, and will require =
the new render to be manually re-linked.  It sounds like this makes the e=
ditors grumpy, so ProRes stuff is simply always rendered with audio regar=
dless.

But it's not something I do, and I'm nearly always rendering image sequen=
ces anyway.

When you render and export a composition from After Effects that does not=
 have audio content, do you ever enable audio output intentionally (thus =
creating an empty audio track in the output file)?

If so, why, and what formats do you use?

We're in the process of making some improvements to how audio is handled,=
 and we want to make sure that we haven't broken any common workflows.
