simple bait

It's the time and effort involved in shelling mussels is the downside. It is nice to take a few dozen ready shelled and toughened/drier especially in the colder months when I tend to use them more. Whipped onto the hook they will take power casting as well which I assume that the paste won't. They contain a large amount of moisture straight from the shell which I would think would greatly effect the texture of the paste. You won't know until you try though
I won't mind opening the shells and scraping out and mixing at beach, i would rather do that.
Wont be casting too far out either so should not be a problem, if so try bait elastic, if both fail hardly anything loss and a good trying experience.
