Thats exactly what is needed...most people won’t disconnect the automatics until they get a landing clearance, won’t fly autothrust off, won’t fly manually in IMC etc etc. Obviously if you are getting overloaded AND automation can help you, use it (there are also cases where automation increases the workload, in that case disconnect it or go back to basic modes)...but if pilots feel „overloaded“ due to the simple fact that they are in IMC they are maybe in the wrong business (and the excuse „But a manual flown go around is challenging“ does not cut it - after rotation to initial climb attitude the autopilot can be reengaged on some/most airplanes go around modes will automatically come back on the FMA even if the approach was flown raw data...).
