I also use that same serial connection to enable the logging program to 
note the exact frequency in use at the time of the QSO, or to have the 
computer be able to QSY on a mouse click.

It's not a complication, it's a convenience.  In the case of FT8, the 
serial connection is THE way to operate split in DXpedition mode.
