Agreed, you only need air-jacks and single-nut fixings if you are into enduro's at a professional level OR you want the bling.
I have used lug-nuts and a quick-lift hydraulic jack (6 pumps to lift 450mm) for 40 years in state and national-level competition without any issues. In the old days, we used to carry a bottle of compressed air and use a rattle-gun, but the 18V electric rattle guns are brilliant these days.
The only time it takes more than 10-15 minutes to change wheels is if I need to change pads at the same time, and that is now extremely rare.
