Automating British carriers without treaty limits

Would Britain automate aircraft carriers more aggressively without treaty limits?

Yes; if machinery could reduce crew numbers and tonnage no longer constrained the design, the Royal Navy would pursue it.

The limiting question is not whether the Royal Navy values automation but whether machinery can justify its space and weight. Removing treaty tonnage pressure gives designers more freedom to install systems that reduce the ship's complement. This places carrier automation within the same manpower logic described earlier for battleships.
