Multiple saves is good. What if a player wants to go back and revisit a part of the game? By removing that option you
will annoy some players, and that's never a good thing to do without good reason.

First, jumping back and forth destroys the illusion of being part of a real progress.

That's only related to the general game design, and not if you allow saved games or not. What if a player wants to revisit a certain part of the game after he has completed the game. Maybe he's writing a review and wants to check something.

Second, extra coding means less time spent on the story, and more chance of an unexpected crash.

Nah, it doesn't take long to get it working (see my follow-up to your post on the Sludge-forum), and I've not seen any unexpected crashes in my work-in-progress that includes a save/load system.
