No.
I ended a LL tournament game last season when a team with 9 players helicoptered his bat to the fence after striking out. (Umpires suspend in LL, the powers that be decide on the forfeit.)
I know this is a different situation, but I've never let the number of players or the consequences to the player guide my decision on ejecting or not ejecting. If most people think a suspension is unfair, they'll change that rule. If not, then players and coaches must be mindful that actions have consequences.
