No, because the defense is now *also* much easier. Watchtowers are trivial, since they just spend the latest tx.
I was originally of the same mind as you, but this seems to be our direction anyway, since people want zero reserve for UX reasons...

It's always cheaper to mutual close so it's only when you're going to close unilaterally. And at least this peer is very unlikely to open a channel with you again if you're a pratt. It's hard to quantify reputational damage though, to be fair.
