I do most of my own wrenching, but truing is one thing I do not enjoy.
Properly built wheels never go out of true unless you bend a rim crashing or running into an obstacle.

When you take rider weight into account when choosing rims (shallow 400g rims are not OK even on the front for 200 pound riders) you may never true a wheel until the rim needs replacing due to worn out brake tracks even when you're not very dainty running over pot holes.
