Subject: How Does Unequal Cost Path Load Balancing (Variance) Work in EIGRP?

Yes. You're correct, but a route with feasible successors will already
converge extremely fast, with only a small amount of overhead. By
using traffic-share min, alternate routes(that meet the feasibility
condition/variance requirements) are stored in the FIB/CEF table, and
will help decrease some of that overhead. If instead you have multiple
*equal* cost paths, the command will have no effect.
