You can use the OLC GUI 1.2.7 stand alone instead of GUI Special to keep the zoom levels. You'll lose the "3d waves which make your periscopes worthless except in perfectly calm seas or when surfaced seen through the scopes" though.
You just have to deal with the double mast things and slightly different tools. This will also restore the zoomed in map view as well.
As you found out though, you can delete the Submarine folders under GUI Special, then change the SymbolZoom= settings in maps.cfg to change the "no map contacts zoomed in" feature of GUI Special. Search this thread for exactly how to do that.

All the same charts are there in OLC GUI. Move the mouse to the left for the convoy map, to the top for the minefield/subnet maps and to the right for the time/speed conversion charts. Especially with the Convoy one I preferred the drag down map since it was easier to reference and wasn't cut off, but most of the data is available.

Yeah, I prefer the old style myself but it'll work.
I do miss the mirrored chrono on every screen, but again that's replaceable.
