IMHO the 'Duty of Care Deconfliction' of VFR from IFR which occurs in some Class D airspace is often excessive. It creates extra workload for the controller and the VFR pilot and, unbeknown to the controller, can sometimes compromise compliance with Rule 5 (alighting clear).

Yes, keep it simple. Why overcomplicate it?
