the amount of extra effort required to constantly be observing the baby [...] makes [...] caring for a baby just more difficult

you learn a lot more about your baby than just elimination cues by observing it. i'd argue that that effort is not difficult at all and has a lot of other benefits. see attachment parenting.

you are right about "you must do it this way or else" producing unnecessary stress though.

It is true that you can learn a lot by observing babies. Observing them constantly so that you don't fail to miss these cues is a bigger task.
