Not for me, no. I can see where you are coming from but I have not had any issues with it because my T is consistent in the timeframe and method of response; she won't delve into deep issues by this manner but responds exactly as I need her to 99% of the time. I guess I am very lucky in this that what she can provide is just right for me and so it works for us, but I can see how it wouldn't work for many, even with the same setup. Each relationship is individual and I think it is up to both parties to say what does and does not work for them. Transparency and honesty. If the client doesn't feel what is happening is working then they should tell the T and they to work it out. If the T can't provide what they need then it is up to the client to decide if they want to continue working with the T or not. That sounds very clinical, I am aware of that, and I know it rarely is as easy as that, unfortunately.

I also think a lit of Ts are not professional anyway, and that is what causes the problems, not the method of communication.
