The elevator is nice! When you only want from highest to lowest point.
A wall mounted item, that stops the elevator would be nice.
So yes, when you have 5 diff floors, you need to press the button a bit more often, but Im pretty sure, people would be totally fine with that, because the other option is to use the stop button and hope its not too high or too low
A small and a large modern elevator would be the other option! Small one not for vehicles, just for players. And when you click the button (the only button), you get a small display and you can see for example:
-1, 0 and up to 5. (The names of the wall mounted elevator level/stopper) and the elevator is going there without any more stops
