My experience with the feature tells me that this is a nonissue. Even with resume on automatic track change enabled, later chapters of an audiobook are virtually never resumed in the middle simply because no resume point has been stored for them. This is the typical case because unlike podcasts, audiobook chapters are almost always played in sequence.
It's quite different for me. I may listen to one book only to find it wasn't the right length for a trip. The next time I take a trip may be some time later, and I wish to start the book again. I do this pretty regularly, and I don't want resume points littering my collection, while I'd still like them for podcasts.
I think the key is that with my solution, the option is there (while maintaining less presence in the menus of confusing options, and less automation which can be argued as a positive or negative depending on your views) to have it handle things either way, while with your case it's more or less forced.
