Wire ties are fine to keep the rebar touching from bar to band (the smaller rod surrounding the verticals or horizontals as it were). It has been used for years on buildings, roadways, etc. Generally speaking the concrete holds the connection together, the connection and rod make the concrete
strong ...

The only place where I am aware of welding rebar is to butt splice, with a sleeve around the connection
and cad weld the connection. Used on cooling towers.

Order towers with the rebar cage and they likely will come welded and not tied.
That's been the recent local experience.
