I can go either way on the line. Not having it creates one set of potetial problems. Having it creates a different set. It doesn't really solve anything.

As for having it but not enforcing it. Or loosely enforcing it....hmmmm. Need to think some more about it, but my intial thoughts are this just opens up more problems. It's there but it's not...??

If you're going to spend some time, effort and money why not just put it into additional training for the dealers on the current house rules. Re-enforce attention to detail and player intent, with some focus on controlling the action.

Seems to me most of these problems occur due to other players acting too quickly or impatience. Speed is one thing, but without accuracy, everyone will suffer. Pfapfap makes some very good points about what he expects from his customers when he deals.
