Shiai should, and hopefully will remain an item that you can redeem for prizes.
Working with currency is way easier and it's not the idea of an additional currency that wasn't liked by hampa, but the idea of shiai at all :/
The way it exist now is pretty weird as it makes GMs and TSAs so additional stuff that can and should be done automatically by the system.
