Is locking the wheel necessary with nuts (not QR)?

Hey all, just popping in with a question before I commute to work tomorrow with my new lock. Today I got sick of lugging around my Kryptonite Series 2 U lock, so I picked up an Evolution Mini. I'm aware of Sheldon's strategy of locking the rear wheel inside the triangle, but I was wondering if locking a wheel is unnecessary with axle nuts (i.e. I don't have quick release).

I'm just imagining that with axle nuts, no one would steal JUST the wheels, unless they were walking around with only a 15mm wrench but NOT a saw or jack. That kind of seems unlikely.

Thanks!
