My question--

Is it worth paying RCI it's membership fee annually for access to it's Last Minute Rentals as your only use?

I use the hot weeks for as low as $99 per week all the time through my travel club. I live as a nomad, so these deals are my bread and butter. The club I use is $497 per year or $2500 for 99 years unlimited access. It pays for itself quickly if you travel often enough, and you also get access to RCI unused inventory as well. I also own a travel agency and can access these weeks for clients who do not want a club membership, but then they are on average $75-$100 more per week.
Wow! You managed to dig up a thread from 2015.
