Besides having a faster justification for war, is there any other advantage to having claims on territory?

In some cases, the claims will trigger ultimatums that can let the victim surrender without a fight.

It's how Besserabia and the Baltic work for the Soviets. Once the claims are in place, you start justifying for the war. They will (usually) give in within a week or so.

Capturing 30,000 infantry equipment without firing a shot from annexing the Baltic is helpful.
