and remembering the recoil (less on a howitzer admittedly) means you have to re-lay the gun between shots. And as pointed out above, the skill of the gunner makes a big difference.
Surely the skill is managed with the vagary of the dice roll? No shooting of howitzer, field piece, musket or even bow & arrow or sling stone is assured in gaming thanks to dice. You just need to get the percentages right.

The thing is that a well oiled crew with an officer with good mathematique would far outperform a group of militia, far more than their equivalent long gunners. Come to that, I have never heard of militia howitzers.

The limber often carried basic general tools but if you wanted to dig a hole you'd have to take the Shuvalov.
