I do like the element that even if Crucible and Careener don't win this round, they may still be an option to pick later. Removes a lot of the stress about "GET IT NOWWWW"
It could take us 2-3 turns to get enough goodwill to recruit another crew, and we may decide to spend it on something else, so we should at least work on the assumption that whoever wins this vote is going to be our main crew for a while.
But yes, there's a possibility that many of these may return in future turns.
