If your 3D track was solid, it wouldn’t be that bad. You can track the camera in After Effects, then export that to Blender, do the VFX, then render. Bring those elements back into After Effects (where you already have the 3D tracking data) and do the comping. A few more steps but it’s not too bad as long as you can get a good 3D track.
how complicated would it be to 3-D track all that to moving piece of footage?

I might make a tutorial on that since I’ve done quite a few that don’t require a 3D track so maybe that’s the next step.

Not sure what you mean.
