Since I normally have only 1 officer in the control room when surfaced and 2 when submerged, I use helm qualifications on the officers alternating at the CE spot to ensure I've always got a full green bar, i.e. the station is working at full efficiency.
Honestly, I haven't even checked if I'd get a full green bar without the qualification, using just one officer and three sailors (I have no helm qualified POs.). Even if I could, it seems realistic to me to have qualified officers.
I'm not really sure this actually affects something. I vaguely remember that a less than full efficiency might have caused problems keeping periscope depth in some mod I used to play. Not sure if this applies to GWX 1.03 I have now. If it does, the idea of the bridge breaching the surface when sneaking into firing position on a convoy doesn't sound appealing.
