Not precisely "at its worst", and, I think, unavoidable. Immersive playing is all well and good, but if it's for something non-trivial (like a barter deal, say), a player is unlikely to want to RP well enough that they come out with the short end of the stick, even if their INT and WIS scores say they ought to. Kudos to anyone who does, but it's not something most people will voluntarily do.

(In addition, people have no CHA check to base their trust on initially, so the fact that they trust Jin more initially based on the way he's dressed is because stat scores aren't broadcast, so they have no alternative method of judgement. (unless you've entered your CD information into LORE)).
