It wouldn't just seem less advantageous, you would absolutely be at a distinct disadvantage against any capsuleer ship if you weren't in the pod yourself. Any ship that doesn't have a capsuleer actively piloting it would have to be extremely lucky to survive against a capsuleer ship.
And Provence---
A capsuleer's mind can do all of those things you list, and all at the same time. That's what the capsuleer implants are for (not to mention the extra abilities given by the pirate and other special/skill implants). They expand the brain's (and nervous system's) capabilities immensely. A human equipped with just the basic capsuleer implants would far out-class even the smartest and best unaugmented human. Any implants that add to stats would only make the gap even wider.
The human capsuleer is necessary because human instinct and ingenuity in combat far outstrips that of a completely automated ship. However, every single other function on a ship can be done just as well - if not better - by automatons. Repairs, ammunition loading -- even the actual aiming of the guns is automatic. The capsuleer thinks "lock this" and it gets locked by the targeting computers. Then when the capsuleer mentally selects one of the locked targets and thinks "fire" the guns automatically swivel to track the target and fire.
You also have to remember that there are still lots of non-capsuleer ships around. Capsuleers are just the best of the best elite pilots. So the same Megathron hull can be made to be a capsuleer or non-capsuleer ship. That's why there are still windows and all that human crap. And in a capsuleer ship, there still needs to be room for automatons and redundant systems. That's why ships aren't just flying weapon platforms.
In MY EVE, the capsuleer is the only crew aboard a ship. The rest of the space is redundant automated systems and automatons.
When I finally do make an impact on this universe, it will reverberate across the entirety of it, and no one will be able to truthfully claim they don't know me.

Until then, I'll just sit quietly over here, minding my own business...

Since EVE isn't reality anywhere, my EVE is just as real as your EVE.
The humans who would have made up my ships' crews are thankful they live in my EVE where they don't die on a regular basis.
