Try it, you'll see that it is worth it!

What one really wants is for cc11 to provide a few dB of *additional* output. That would make more sense than setting it to, say, 100 every time you load a patch.

But that would mean changing the world. At one point I used a pedal to automate the fader on the digital mixer I was using at the time, but I stopped doing that. Too cumbersome.
