That has not been my experience. Maybe it's the ripping software I've used, or my devices, but either the track has silence at the end (or beginning) representing the gap between tracks, or the track has no silence if there was no gap.
Before gapless playback, a gap would be introduced between mp3 files no matter what (or they'd be artificially transitioned together in an ugly mess) but I haven't had that problem in a long while.
However, if it still happens for people, then I understand the reason.
But it still seems like a lot of work, if grabbing individual tracks is one's main use pattern. Myself, I think I'd probably still rip tracks, then only go back and re-rip particular albums that needed the precise cueing.
Plus, do all players that support FLAC support cue sheets?
