Can't really say anything unique here, I just flat out agree. I've played a few rounds on RP recently and it went from 'oh haha, I am role playing, I must act like I am a living human being' to 'oh my god I did this FIVE MINUTES AGO' and it's just not fun. Hunger and thirst I at least interact with a potentially present chef/bartender, but the frequency of it just becomes frustrating. I don't see how being forced to shower constantly has enhanced the little roleplay I have done. If anything, it's made it worse.
Though, that's a lot of my attitude to the other motives. At some point, you have to either embrace or detest the fact that you are going to drop what you're doing to make it go away, or live with whatever debuff you get. (And thirsty(?)'s halving of base stamina regen is BRUTAL.) I think in the case of food/thirst it's nice (but I feel it should be one thing, since both serve the same purpose -- visiting the Bar), and really there could be a replacement of hygene to be more... enhancing of roleplay.
I don't think throwing spacial interdictors or whatever into the mix helps either, but it does prod at what I'm getting at above - involving engineering into the hygene equation allows for interaction between players on a motive.
