I’ve never found it to be that inconvenient, but then I typically start the Internet very late in the day, and I’m one person on one or two devices.

Maybe someone makes a travel router smart enough to automate the hotel intercept dialog quickly? None of this will prevent it from dropping you, but at least you wouldn’t have to manually login.
You just suggested I check into a hotel I'm spending a huge amount on, whether dollars or points, and I should set an alarm to login to the wifi at a particular time of day, but that is not inconvenient? That's pretty funny.
