That it would.

On the scale issue: I can see why he didn't bother. By my estimate, a 300kt Destroyer would be 6000 times shorter than a medium sized planet. The kind of sizing (and texture size!) you'd need to get anywhere near realistic size is daunting.

On turning: 4x slower turn rates gives a destroyer about the same turn rate as a modern jet fighter. 4x slower acceleration means it takes about 30ls to stop. I think those are reasonable enough, so for the second Version of Slowdown I just increased the top speed back to normal, and halved the mission timers. May have to undo that Last bit, we'll see. Get the updated Version at the same place, I replaced the old Version.

Same deal, just extract into your Campaigns directory and select Slowdown. Note that if you do this to a campgain in progress, it won't affect your ship until you buy a new one.
