Either way, if it accomplishes anything with purely telecined material it isn't anything I can notice with these particular video files, so I can do without it.

It's for residual combing
You can have a 100% film source, but you can still have cadence breaks (e.g. post telecine edits, common with 90's and early 2000's North American TV series on DVD), which leave you with combed frames
If you have 100%, 3:2 pure, 100% no cadence breaks, then you wouldn't need it IVTC post processing . e.g most modern Hollywood movies on DVD are actually 100% soft telecine, perfect cadence. But you mentioned hard telecine... and that can sometimes be "iffy" . Sometimes just knowing what the title, what content, and what era it was produced in can provide clues as to what it is.
