That's exactly why we're advocating it. For example, a lot of the smaller aircraft back then had separate fuel feed mechanisms, if you forgot to periodically change from one tank to the next you would find yourself with a seriously unbalanced aircraft.
The thing is the procedures are not the main goal here, the aim is to have the mechanical intricacies and inner workings of an aircraft properly modelled. Procedures come in handy only because they are a means of making sure you don't forget important things. I don't care about having to follow a checklist to the letter, but i do care about the lack of consequences when we abuse our aircraft because that detracts from fidelity. Simply pressing "I", slamming the throttle forward and keeping it there for the duration of the mission just doesn't do it for a lot of people anymore.
