I love it and only deviate from that when I am playing historical and using reserve rosters instead of minors. I think organizational immersion is even more rewarding than team immersion. It used to feel exhausting but no longer. Having said that, I really do understand what you are looking for and I agree that the AI is not there yet. But I'm telling you, if you try doing it ALL, runnign the entire organization, it is really fun and rewarding.

^^ This. I do it with a modern MLB league and have a lot of fun handling all of the minor league teams. Who needs an AI to run the minors when we can do it ourselves so much better and have a lot of fun doing it? The tools are there. All of the problems the OP listed can be readily overcome. You just have to know the tools and use them.
Plus this really gets you to know you future major leaguers well.

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.
