I think that's a pretty ugly user experience, does it make sense to have an option to configure the applet into an invariably sort of unpleasant to use state? That's why I resisted it in the past.
  
  
  There's already the option to disable grouping for specific apps. Having an option to disable it for all aps is a feature that gets requested from time to time and you can get it on for example Cinnamon, LXDE/LXQt or Windows with registry edit tweaks.
  Also:
  
  - it is not an issue if you have a pretty consistent set of windows open, so you just remember which is which
  - you can tell from tooltip
  - just let the user decide
  
  I personally would use this feature.
