Do you think that binding consultations are better?

What would that look like?

Senators should consult with the people but they also have to be able to decide what is the best course and some times that can require an action that isn't popular in the present moment.

I wouldn't say a complete waste of time. Though far less formal, I used to hold all Senator townhalls as PPT in order to get public input. Oftentimes they didn't receive enough participation from the public to justify doing them, but I still kept trying at different points hoping a different time would mean a different result.

I also used to randomly PM members of the IDS to get their views on topics, but the result of that was often even worse in terms of participation and response.
