If none of your MPLS TE LSPs use the same underlying links you will
never have any need for prioritisation, and thus never have any need for
AutoBandwidth.

An example: We (not ISP but enterprise) currently only use MPLS TE for
redundant L2 pseudowires that _have_ to use different paths in the
network. If we didn't use MPLS TE (in this case "explicit-path") we
would risk that two different pseudowires that were supposed to be a
redundant pair took the same path. In this case there's nothing to be
gained from AutoBandwidth.
