Yes, but why go to the trouble of creating an artificial penalty for an artificial solution? When it would be at least as easy to just fix the real problem? I don't think it's having to manage crew that most people are dissatisfied with, but the way they have to manage crew. Maybe there are some who don't want crew management at all, but as Abraham said, I think we've got it now whether we like it or not. I happen to like it, but it would be much improved if it didn't require quite as much micromanaging.
No need to turn it off completely when having assignable watches and battle stations would be more historically accurate and realistic. To me, that seems like the easiest and most appealing solution.
My two cents.

To return again, oh never!
For they've raised his pay five cents a day,
But they've stopped his grog forever.
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
But tomorrow we'll be sober.
