Not really.

I distinguish "repeating tasks" and "nagging tasks".

Cleaning the kitchen is typically a nagging task: not because some
people find it boring (no comment) but because you can't do the next
one before doing the previous one*... a repeating task is typically a
course at the uni: you can attend the next one without attending the
previous one, and in this case, the current behavior of Org makes
sense.

So, for nagging tasks, I simply don't use a repeater, this way the
task is always nagging me :)  When it's done, I reschedule it using
C-c C-s . S-<down> for the next week.  And voilà.

HTH,
