Basically if you let casters replenish their spells as often as they'd like, you give every caster unlimited spells, even the high level ones. Imagine what this does to things like Resurrect, Power word Kill, Heal spells (unlimited heals!), buffs, etc.

To buff up casters some, I would simply recommend dumping a few items on them that open up more spellslots for them. You can easily (I think) double the amount of spells a Sorc (for instance) gets through items.
What you perhaps COULD do is rig the script and take the part where it replenishes players' spells. That way, if something goes wrong due to bad planning or something and the caster is completely out of spells, you could always stealthily replenish all spells if should consider it necessary.

I'm not particular fond of the 'rest in safe areas only' idea, because I tend to think that the party can create said safe areas. However, I don't see a viable alternative. It's either the safe areas, an annoying script that botches as soon as the rest is interrupted or full rest options.
