For my group I have them make sure to secure the area as their rest may get interrupted if they don't

But I also roll on a relevant encounter table when they do and add a modifier based on the groups checks for it being secure (usually a survival check, so usually it's the ranger doing the rolling for that)

Short rests are a lot easier though

Random encounters aren't the most interesting thing to do at the table for most people. Design choices that funnel the play time into them then seems like a poor idea.

If you're playing the game just for the combat itself then it's probably fine. But if you're playing for any sort of story then fighting a random pack of spiders probably pays off less than fighting plot relevant stuff.
