I'd just make sure NPCs who use tight formations have the appropriate perks. It IS a little fiddly, but tightly packed close order melee infantry was definitely a thing, and I kinda-sorta want to humble hotshot PCs with weensy little hobbit pikemen hedgehogs.

Or at least make them appreciate area spells properly.
