I like you, begin culling loading them as well. Not only with 3, but also in My SH4 U-boat set up, as well. Sadly... is no Commander, for 4, as there is for 3 though... so, have to do all that manually... & can't even properly use the refit option available, so as to avoid having those areas restocked.

Actually after 5/43 they were removed from the boats for a variety of reasons, maintenance requirements not being an issue. It is very easy to make a mod to remove them from the boats.
Damage from depth charging/sea pressure when going deep, containers leaking, etc. were the main reasons for getting rid of them.
Speaking of maintenance, u-boats leaving port tended to first have all their tubes loaded with only steam torpedoes vs. the electric ones.........due to their lower in voyage maintenance requirements.
