The only cases of waste I know of happens when people ask for sponsorship for DebConf and then hotel space is made for them (and possibly other expenses) and then they just don't show up without any heads-up. Even those are rare, but it's the only instances of really wasting any money that I can think of.
Reimbursing people after the fact would avoid that. (If they didn't show up, they wouldn't get a reimbursement.) But I suppose in some/many/all cases where Debian is paying, it is because the person can't afford the cost. So they might not be able to float it even temporarily. If so, then I guess that might just be a risk we have to accept. Thankfully you're saying these things are rare.
