As far as I know, Dell is the only switch vendor doing toolless rails

Having fought for hours trying to get servers with those

*So ultimately my question to you all is how much do you care
about the speed of racking and unracking equipment

I don't care as long as it fits in the rack properly, the time
taken to do that is small compared to the time it'll be there (many
years for us). I use an electric screwdriver if I need to do many. I
care more about what is inside the box than the box itself, I'll
have to deal with their software for years.
