Not sure what kind of gentle waxworms you have there. I had a batch and was obligated to keep them in a glass tank with a metal screen top. They *chewed through* the sides of plastic tubs and plastic screen. They chewed through the lid of the cup I got them in overnight. That being said, I never had happier giant danio, anoles or house geckos than when I'd let them have a fat well-fed worm. One particularly cool thing I noticed was that they made their own heat as they nested in the bedding (I made artificial honeycomb with honey, bran and melted beeswax on crumpled wax paper). They were particularly difficult to separate out when they pupaed (you really left off how cobby and sticky their cocoons are and that they will somehow figure out how to put themselves right under the lid without exception, which is not a nice surprise)

I rarely lose a male, mate. Providing you supervise (and the mantis is large enough, very difficult with smaller species) you can prevent it and the male can go on to mate with several more females. That chewing his head off every time is a total myth, especially in the wild.
