Similar idea has been suggested here. https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1023266055860260944
The idea of capturing the commanding officer would not work in game, as there are no ranks, only crew assignments. Thus sabotaging the ship's control room would be the way to "forced surrender" with boarding in mind.
The concept usually doesn't work on naval ships, but thanks to ranks. When one officer is unable to give out commands, a lower ranking officer takes their place, so it just turns into a hostage situation.
I have a feeling that would be a little too distracting when there's also ship to ship combat involved on the outside.
However, the post I linked to suggested vip targets. That could work as a valuable cargo that the boarding party can steal/kidnap.
There were a lot more suggestions
