I'm always for OPTIONS that would improve the enjoyment of a game for other people.
Ideally the battles will be so fun that people won't want to skip them. However, even if the battles are more fun than sex I could still see scenarios where a person might simply want to skip them. Having an option to have the battles auto-resolve takes nothing away from people that DON'T want the option.
Just stick a toggle in the options to enable/disable the auto-resolve option. That way people that will never use the auto-resolve will never even see that it's there.
I never really understand why some people are against options that might make the game more fun for other people. It's like the option that they will never use magically makes the game less fun for them somehow simply by existing.
