I think it tends to be distracting for people when there are major instruments present that are not being played on stage, at least it would be for my church. we have a sunday morning attendance of 150-200, and sometimes we just don't certain musicians. Once a month we have acoustic sunday, to let our one drummer have a weekend off, and it's perfectly fine. No one has a problem with it. Backing tracks are tricky in a smaller setting, they're not flexible at all.
