It is a problem if it requires a human to remember to do the procedure, especially if it is not done on every flight. Putting it on the checklist, but making it optional per situation, is asking for someone to make a mistake.
The reset should happen on every flight, if forgetting it on the wrong flight could potentially lead to an incident.
