I think I would like this feature with 2 caveats.

1. Default disabled for entire forum
2. Ability to enable it per category

I can see it being very useful for internal discussions where people are not default watching.

The tricky thing though is that @here could mean

1. People tracking topic or above + people who participated
2. People who participated

And then there is the question of mutes which clearly should be bypassed.
