Recursion schemes are functions that automate the traversal of nested data structures. With them, recursive code can be written in a way that is much simpler and easier to understand.
Implementing the lambda calculus with naive term-substitution is inefficient - instead, modern compilers for functional languages convert the code to a form that can be more efficiently executed.
