Restorers really are not necessary on the US servers because of the capped SD and the added ability of boosts.
If you spend the proper time when rolling your crew to include repairers/engs with +12 in their base, but also a +10 or 11 in restore, then you find you can hit the 900 SD cap with fewer and fewer sailors. This is especially true with engineers as they contribute more to your SD total than repairers.
I'm at the point now with just 3 of my IJN engs, I'm just about at the 900 sd cap. So once I put on the BO and some gunners, i'm over 900.
