You're right there. I have to admit i play with map contacts :-)
But yes without map contacts finding the enemy is tough as hell and probably very realistic and the reason real u-boats werent sinking 100 k per month as depicted in Sh5 campaign.
I think your idea about toning down the accuracy of the map contacts is a really good one, and I'd defintiely love to try such a mod. Or howabout if the map contacts only show up briefly unless they are in visual range. It seems that once the ship is in visual it should probbaly stay on the map as your crew can see it well enough.
Another option might be to make the distant contacts which appear because of alerts from friendlies, arrive in a radio type message which then puts the last known position and course of contact on your map, but it dissapears after a few minutes (mimicking the fog of war). This would make the player actually have to immediatley plot the contact and see if an interception is possible.
