Knowing the required bank angle is useful because the AI gives you immediate feedback on the bank angle
I had a surprise in my one and only fast jet ride (well, it seemed fast to me - a Vampire), when I was reminded that I needed a lot more bank to do a rate one turn at 250 kts - about 35 degrees. A lot more than the 15 degrees I was used to in a Chipmunk.
