I think it depends on your typing speed, your target speed, and how much time you want to spend learning the method. On desktop I type 110-130 WPM so such a shortcut wouldn't really help in all but the most extreme examples in day to day work.
On mobile my typing speed is much, much lower and I extensively use autocomplete.
But even at the high end of typing speed there's still a use case for shortcuts, it's just called stenography and it requires specialized software and/or hardware and tons of training.
