That's honestly what I do, and what I'd continue to do with or without this change. It lets you pull the Pratchett's "Igor" routine of dropping even a complicated accent for clarity in an important moment. But I appreciate I've seen this discussion a few times before and wanted to go in with something hopefully constructive, or else I'm just going "hey do it manually" and I feel like a JERK.
I mean I am one, but that's neither here nor there. Drakios gives a good example with the whole "not comfortable doing it" I'd honestly say regardless of this idea don't sweat trying to do it manually a go: you can do it as softly or as hard as you like that way. For example, one of my character's accents is a very, very generic, very light southern accent. Literally all I do is use a few generic southern colloquialisms (I had to drop "hoss" as this caused too many confused comparisons to the actual HoS) it wasn't remotely consistent and 99% of the time was low effort. You can definitely change it up as you go along.
