Take the 1959 Dodgers as an example: All 8 of Drysdale's relief appearances could be said to be in-between starts while part of the rotation. Same with all five of Podres' relief apps, 6 of Koufax' 12, 5 of Craig's 12, 5 of McDevitt's 17, 1 of Stan Williams' 20 (and none of Larry Sherry's 14). That's a total of 30 relief appearances by Dodger pitchers who were part of the rotation at the time, which is roughly equivalent to the number of appearances of one back-end reliever.

So, by OOTP defaulting these years to Allow Starts in Relief = No, it's like taking away a member of the pitching staff.
