Uhhh... more fun for whom?
In my games, the number of spellcasters in the party as a percentage of spellcasting actions vs non-spellcasting actions is much greater than their adversaries taken as a whole.
So, this ready to screw casters house rule is gonna be affecting the PCs a lot lot lot more than it's being used by them. Just a couple extra lower minions with bows or crossbows in a enemy force makes this a serious blow to the one or two casters in a party.
Now, certainly, in a world where this is how things work, tactics will evolve to both thwart it and enhance it and certain features become major - like subtle metamagic, a variety of illusions, mirror image becomes worth its weight in gold and of course corner-casting.
So, a lot of the basic expectations would change under these house rules. Definitely one I would emphasize in rule zero.
