This one was kinda tricky.
1 Fuel levels can make Jump farther. Some players use less fuel so they can get that extra few LY jump range.
2 Restocking. Now some of the Mats that are restocked require more weight so like Fuel can hinder jump range.
3 Now the repair. Not a bad idea. But if you are saving up on a new ship cargo it could prevent you from getting a full load.
I think having it optional, maybe as a ship setting, would make sense. A great many people would want it but I can understand that some people might not if they don't want to pay for fuel or want to fine tune their jump range as you say.
I think making all three toggleable options on the ship might be a decent way to handle it.

I always like the idea of hiring a crew to do things. If you have a crew onboard, they should take care of these things for you if you use the DC. If you land manually then you have to approve everything. Once you turn your ship over to the DC, you should be turning the helm over to number 1 and you should be retiring to your quarters to figure your next jump or to prepare for your meetings with the faction heads.
There was a time when choosing what to repair and what to leave as-is for the moment was a serious decision because repairs and maintenance were expensive, and most of us had tight finances back then. There are still those who would like a return, or at least a partial return, to those days. I am not a fanatic for it, but I do sympathise with that in sentiment at least. Having everyone get accustomed to auto-repairs etc, along with the abundance of credits these days, would push player expectations in the opposite direction to that desire, making it even more unlikely that something like those days would ever return.
Vendor Rewards Card style? In principle, I don't see why not, perhaps in the form of a smidge of increased rep with the controlling faction just for buying fuel?
Emmm.. It seems like what my
