It is a major concern, WM
and you expressed it more succinctly than I.
Much as I dislike matrices and metrics, I have to agree with you on that probability.
More importantly, you ably characterized my shorthand using the word 'personality' applied to the Chaplain(s) with the far better

Just as some Commanders are better at certain things than are others, all Chaplains are not created equal and we should avoid embedding any process that may work well with some people at a point in time as THE way to do business.
Thank you...;)
No. I insist. Thank you...
Okay, I'll quit now...:D

There is no physical, logical, or moral necessity to use chaplains in this role.
True. I'd suggest there are several reasons in all categories to avoid so using them. When it is done, it should be very carefully thought out and applied.
We probably need to chill a bit. This is an important
topic and we should be able to disagree without being disagreeable.
I do not think I've seen anyone say that the process is not working. You can say that concerns about Chaplain involvement are abstractions / theoreticals yet you personally acknowledged up thread that some Chaplains had concerns with the process.
Why don't we sort of cool it until tomorrow; I see no sense in any of us getting hostile.
