It slows sims and I quit using the minors after Ballplayer Jones won the Cy Young in an OOTP25 sim of mine. He had a real life history of 2 G and zero recorded stats in some 1915 D league and advanced to the majors as a stud once the development engine got hold of him. Some think that's really cool. To me, it's noise and in the way. So much so, I won't play with them on anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I still spent hours this weekend tending to some oddities in the minor league database... but didn't mean it was worth it.
I felt the same way about things like the French league and stuff when that was in the game. Who needs 1,000 more players to keep track of when time is so precious for OOTPD?

Yeah, I hear you bud. It is not for the faint-hearted running a sim using them, so I can only imagine what it takes to keep the minors part updated accurately.
The problem is, the historical game pretty much doesn't work without them. HM are the go-to excuse in this regard for the devs, so good luck trying to take that away from them.
The mod provides the best hybrid IMO, but not all people are keen to integrate before time. And even you'd concede the setup is tricky enough to deter many others.
I really hope the whole thing gets a proper review and some suitable solution concocted, but I am sceptical in the extreme.
