The Shimano wheels don't pop that far out of true when a spoke breaks. You need to open the brake release but the wheel will pass thru ok.
The Shimano wheels use a conventional J-hook spoke. The J is inserted thru a alloy "spacer" that fits in the cutout in the rim. It can be hard to get the old spoke out as they use something like an epoxy to hold the head in place, but if you get the length right it works ok.
