So, in the end, we're back to the old axiom that there's no precaution

Pretty much so.  In the end, it was a training and doctrine issue; the
doctrine focused on firing as fast as possible as opposed to accuracy
and then ignoring the safety training that they had all been trained to
follow.

Given director control and automated firing (to allow for the ship's roll), highest loading speed possible would have a negligible effect on accuracy ('merely' on safety).
