Adding the 5-10% that latex loses between rides isn't any more time consuming that adding the 5-10% my tubeless lose between rides. Even butyl tubes perform best if you check regularly, and they'll love 2-5% overnight. Checking tire pressure shouldn't be any more time consuming than checking to be sure your breaks work, tires, spin, and your chain is in decent shape.

Run what you want, but a 30 second tire check and 2-3 pumps with a floor pump shouldn't stop you from running the technology you want to.
