Maybe...
The other detriment to having pilots is the artificial performace limits that would need to be set in order to avoid hazardous G-forces.
What do you have against humans in space?
Granted, for a military mission they're not necessary. But the cool thing about this is that we apparently have a method of getting humans in space that could probably be flown every day or two. Amortize the costs of getting into space when you can re-fly the same vehicle with just a fuel top-off every day or two and you see that this kind of thing would be extreemly useful.
Probably needs to be a tad larger to haul at least some cargo, but other than that I think this is the way to get humans into space, not Apollo V2.0. Let the big dumb rockets haul unmanned missions and this kind of stuff for crew transfer.
