Guess I need to revisit it.
I do use custom curves in Interpolation patch which is less accurate
at drawing curve but I like that I can manually and programatically
control the period, start and finish of the function with ease. I
guess I could do those things by post-processing a Timeline patch
output with Maths patch, except for period.

Actually I use the Timeline patch a lot right after a JS patch: For
example, I connect the "animationTime" output from the JS in my text
transition sample to the "Patch Time" input of a Timeline patch
(which you can get, if you right click on the patch and select
"Timebase -> External"). The animationTime value goes from 0 to 1
and so I can easily do multiple values depending on that one
animationTime (e.g. a xyz-path of a sprite, an alpha value for a
transition, RGB-Color values with easy-in/out or bouncing values and
much more!) The nice thing about that separate Timeline is, that you
can manipulate your animation parameters without touching the state
machine (because it is in the JS patch).

plunges him more deeply into them.
