I'd imagine determining the constants would be pretty interesting and could tell us very interesting things (??)

There two different issues here Craig.
The integration constants relate to the normalization of a wavefunction, in
Quantum Mechanics. It doesn't simplify the mathematics.
Normalising the Planck units allows a simpler mathematical format to be used, particularly in
Quantum Field theory. One of the problems in mathematics is not only the computational side, but
writing the mathematics down can be horrendously complicated.
A simpler format allows the logical structure to be more easily discerned and errors in the mathematics to be detected.
