Excellent point, many conductors are truly inspiring to watch as they totally throw themselves, both physically and mentally, into their conducting. Their baton becomes a blurr, facial expresions and body language all combine to inspire the muscians to achieve their highest level of performance while leaving the conductor totally spent, and drenched in perspiration.
Depending on the work being performed, I believe being seated behing the performers can be a distinct advantage.
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice but in practice there is.
