If the final scores of fast pitch were looking more like slow pitch scores, I would say yes. However, since that's clearly not the case, so I don't think one could make the argument that the defense really needs more help.
And if the equipment's performance is the rationale behind this logic, then I'd like to see them explain why we still see F3 and F5 play so close up the line.
Not to mention all of the studies that have been done in SP that say that giving the pitcher an extra 6 feet from the original distance of 50' doesn't really give them that much more reaction time to a ball that, in all honesty, is hit much harder and faster than what you typically find in the FP game. Sure, there are plenty of female sluggers out there, but most HRs hit in the various levels of FP would fall well short of a 300' fence.
Keep the bases at 60' for now. I see no compelling need for the change.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
