I mean the entire point of having optional patches included is that people who want to play with them can. I don't see why it's any better for you if it's also required for everyone else.
I probably will enable it for my next game. I guess I'm just surprised that anyone considers a forced choice between productivity loss and tedious, every-turn micromanagement to be a feature rather than a bug, but I do agree that if there's any disagreement about a change, it should stay optional.
That's because the rest of us don't do this. The "productivity loss" is so small as to be negligible. It's not worth the cognitive load to mess around with stuff like this more than necessary.
You do know there's an in-game spreadsheet that lets you view your cities and change their production, right? Right click on the cities to get the production menu. You can also use X and some other key in the production view to rotate between your towns. This helps a lot with managing your cities.
