I think the reason for the large tickets is so they can state a specific train and seat reservation but then they could easily issue two standard size tickets instead.
The problem with some ticket machines is they don't issue weekly seasons or tickets with a 'New Deal' railcards.
I think staff would have to be provided even if large tickets were abloished as what if someone has boarded at an unstaffed station and genuinly hasn't had the chance to purchase a ticket on the train? They'd be stuck in the station!
