I'm not worried about manual flying workload, I'm fresh out of flight school where it was manual flying + manual IFR navigating + comms and all procedures including serious abnormal (simulated or not) in real IMC.
I'm just worried about rules with poor justifications. And I also don't like breaking rules. If there is no rule with poor justification there is no breaking this rule, so that would be ideal.

Would my disregard for SOP have caused me to fail a line check at your company?
You wouldn't fail a line check but there could be one small remark yes.
