Command stars help but just because you don't have them doesn't mean your commander sucks. I would rather have the morale bonuses but getting xp is also helpful if you want your general to play an active part in battles.
whether my general has 1 or 5 stars I, as the human player, can usually hold my army together anyway. I think the command stars have more effect on the AI's ability to keep their armies from routing too quickly.
But if you like having stars auto-resolved battles seem to, at least for me, produce more command stars.
