The way I work now is plenty accurate and adequate.  I use AF when
needed and MF the rest of the time.  Just because AF exists doesn't
mean it needs to be used all the time.  I can't see how my workflow
would improve any more by more AF points.  My eye wanders around the
frame looking at composition and annoying background elements.  I can
just see eye control....
