That's true of the stock game as well. At 100% you cannot teleport home. Because you can't control the engines separately it is impossible to steer home if your rudder is damaged, so for that reason alone I manually set the difficulty to 99%. It's my understanding that the game is broken, and no renown is awarded for sailing home, so there is no reason not to teleport if that is a concern.

I personally never use it, because for me a big part of the adventure is the outbound and inbound trip. I always sail all the way home and don't quit until I've actually tied up at the pier. This isn't bragging, because I do use time compression. It just feels right to me, so I'm stuck with it.

Oh, and I never start at sea either.
