While it wouldn't occur to me to proclaim you & your friend crazy, I will say that we clearly have different priorities. Maybe it's because the first recording studio I ever worked at had
no panpots, just Left/Right/Both assignment switches, but I'd have to rank the importance of "exact and easy automation and recall" of panning information down there along with what type of coffee the drummer's girlfriend prefers. It's just not that big a deal for me to reset a bunch of pan knobs...or to have the panning allocated within the DAW & just use the summing box as stereo stems.
