I agree.  Over the years I have drawn away from the idea that
helms can only be used by spellcasters.  They still play and
important role, but you don't need on on the helm. A big part of
my reasons for this is I have moved to a larger, busier Spelljammer
universe, and I don't want to require every ship to have a spellcaster
on it; in my games, that would be way to many spellcasters.
