I can't say that I can find fault with your reasoning. Based on my fuzzy grasp of the concept, I would imagine that the amount of propulsive force would be quite small.

Nonetheless, even a small autonomous and controllable propulsive force might be useful for some application. I can imagine, for example, a small, unmanned ocean buoy with a propulsion system as you describe which can migrate a mile or two a day to track the weather, follow migrating fish, whales, jellyfish, or whatever.
