I'd still prefer subtitles, since verbal is half the acting. And even tone can convey emotion that turning it into simply a visual one leads to missing half the actor's performance.

At that point it is better to watch dubbed animation.

I prefer subtiles as well. But there are many countries that dub almost everything to their native language, and I think having the mouth actually follow the dubbed audio would definitely improve the experience. The dubbed versions in e.g. Germany have loads of voice acting in it so it fits the emotion and vibe of the scenes, so this would just improve that.

I refuse to watch live action dubs. That is what piracy is for if a country refuses to provide the original source material.

I mean, I agree I don't watch them either because of the reason mentioned in my original comment. But I can still see the value this offers to all the people that do actually watch them.

I'd personally put more value in pushing people out of their comfort zone towards watching entire performances done by the actors and learning to read subtitles quicker.

Kind of funny that I watched Dark in German, but if it were an english production German people would be watching it dubbed.
