Not at all.  It makes the difference between macro recording on Midi
events being mostly useless and being useful.  And if one is recording
multi-channel data (and an accordion regular sends on three channels:
right hand melody, left hand chords, and left hand basses), being able
to replay with different keymaps in order to separate one take into
various Voice contexts is pretty important.  In the long run, at least
the user interface for recording facilities will probably be look
different from C-x ( ... C-x ) but without even the basics working,
there is not much of an incentive for people to work on the trickier
stuff.
