We practice autorotations with the needles in the green and a "normal" ROD. Why would anyone want to deviate from that during a real emergency? The aircraft is going to react differently during the flare and touchdown if you rev the sh#t out of the rotors, and an autorotation after a power failure is not the right moment to become a test pilot.
Stick to what you trained, and you're less likely to stuff it up.
