If we make growing a manual operation only (and even with automatic, 
manual editing of cell size will still need to happen), I may have a 
table that fits nicely on a page, but then I put in an image of a 
certain size or add text to a cell which causes the table to now be too big.

If rows or columns can be separated (think of a table on a two-page 
spread), then perhaps using features of Align and Distribute to align 
the broken off parts to margin(s), guide(s), or other features would be 
a good working mode.
