That's where recording samples of analogue gear comes into play...
You can play an organic riff, or even an entire part and then integrate it with fully digital work in most modern DAWs, and then all the effects and settings can be saved, this allows a much more consistent and clean sound.
In the digital world there are tools to completely remove artifacts like humming, clicks and pops, even undesired notes... Stuff I dreamed about years ago being able to do is now possible.
I think it's hard now to not be able to say digital is better overall. Even if you record full analogue, the process of music reaching people you don't know usually relies on some form of digital encoding or conversion to reach the public's ears, unless they spend a lot on vinyl and high end tube amp sound systems (or vintage ones).
