Hiki waza doesn't require taiatari or tsubazeriai, but, even so, there are koryu kenjutsu that have kata involving tsubazeriai. Tsukikage/tsubadome, zetsumyoken, and ganseki otoshi of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu spring to mind.

There are several techniques in Kashima Shin Ryu where if you find yourself in tsuba zeriai you either work your sword around the opponents one and put your blade in his neck. You can grab hold of his tsuka and wrestle his sword out of his hands. Punch him in the sternum(sp?) with your tsuka and then throw him on the ground while you wrestle his sword out of his hands. So I think that tsuba zeriai could be a dangerous thing with live blades if you're not used to this stuff.
