What about automated predictive modeling pipelines? In other words, I want the best possible point estimates only on future data. I’d think, regardless of the model selection process, I want to reestimate the parameters on the entire dataset before I deploy it, so as not to “waste” data? I.e. I want to use the hold out test data in the final model. Is this valid?

I want to use the hold out test data in the final model. Is this valid? Personally, I think that as long as you're generating data constantly (through some kind of software/hardware process), then you'd be well served to keep your sets pure and build the model finally only on data not used in the original process. This is often wildly impractical (and is probably controversial even within the field), but it's safer. (If you train on the entire internet, this may not be possible also).
