Galaxy-class saucer separation in the Dominion War

Would saucer separation give Galaxy-class ships useful tactical flexibility in Dominion War battles?

Separation exposes additional phasers, but the joined ship is generally preferred for fluid battles because of its mobility, flexibility and survivability.

Extra phaser firepower is weighed against the costs of separation. Dr. Clarke prefers the joined ship for fluid fleet engagements and changing tactical tasks. A detached saucer becomes a recovery problem if the lower section is destroyed or the fleet must retreat. Another participant questions whether that worsens an already catastrophic loss, while the opposing view emphasises avoiding unnecessary crew casualties. A wartime reduction from the quoted peacetime complement of about 1,000 does not remove Starfleet's recruitment and replacement concerns.
