Hmm, are you really sure? Last time I tried (about one month ago), it was possible to use a Hybrid Wiimote for nothing but the IR (so basically all controls were left empty except the IR). If not… then I'll consider it lucky that I managed to play it with Hybrid Wiimote :p one small annoyance I had was with the item select "menu", where you have to move the emulated cursor since it doesn't use the Motion Plus there.
When you say recalibrate, do you mean automatic recalibrations in-game, or the calibrations you do manually? The biggest annoyance was the cursor losing sync after a while, and I think that has to do with recalibration, but still, it was possible to play it with emulated IR. At least for me.
This was my config:
[Profile]
Device = XInput2//Virtual core pointer
IR/Up = `Cursor Y-`
IR/Down = Cursor Y+
IR/Left = Cursor X-
IR/Right = Cursor X+
