I don't think strategic escalation is a necessity. A hypothetical scenario where tactical nuclear weapons are limited to at sea use is conceivable.
The big question is gameplay. I must say I would like to try SUBROC very much, but how much fun the possibility to get nuked in return is, is something that could only be shown by play testing.
