just be aware when you use it all stations stay manned and there are no shift changes to relieve tired crew so if left on too long all actions get slower and if forgotten about your crew will be simulated to "pass out" and you can find your engines just stop "for no reason" then all is fine when you turn off general quarters.
I didn't know ISP turns off flank speeds unless you are at GQ but you don't only use flank speed during battle and there are times you must speed to certain areas for other reasons like getting ahead of targets or getting to designated areas in time to find reported targets in the area and you don't need or want to be at GQ all the time in order to do those things so for that reason I wouldn't call that feature being realistic at all. GQ should be used for short periods of time and only when engaged with the enemy.
