That's what I do, but it's really annoying when they give you a
crossing restriction on a fix that isn't a turnpoint in an airway so
now you have to go fishing to find it rather than the entire set of
waypoints constituting an airway being in the plan automatically like
the higher-end FMS.

What happens if you're needing to leave or join the airway midway,
such as at an intersection bend?

If you were to program the airway as a waypoint, wouldn't the unit
expect you to fly it from beginning to end?

In the King GPS I had you put two way points and the airway. You could
enter and exit the airway at any waypoint. However, because the GPS
had airways it was smart enough to make all the airway turns and not
just go direct from the first way point to the last (which may have a
mountain in the middle).
