Not trying to poopoo on the OPs preference, but can I get a show of hands on who actually enjoys working out encumbrance and feels it adds to their game? I'm yet to meet anybody who enjoys it. We just have not seen what it adds mechanically.
The only exception being in GURPS, where you kind of need to do that, as the weight you can carry is the gatekeeper for what armor you can wear.
The people who want to play with the variant encumbrance want to. People who don't find it fun don't have to use it.
Personally, as a player, I like the restriction. As a DM, I would only do it if all my players were on board.
