It's a lousy idea. Swapping a conventional wheel is faster, possible using hubs which don't cost $350, and doesn't require a 415 gram hub even when you want strain gauges and electronics for power measurement (Powertap G3 hubs are 330g and a conventional Shimano or Campagnolo skewer around 65g).

Removing a hubdock wheel means opening a quick release, unthreading/pulling out an axle, and dropping the wheel.

Installing one means setting the wheel in the drop-outs, threading the axle back in, adjusting the quick release, and tightening the quick release.

Removing a regular rear wheel means shifting to the small cog (two thumb shoves on current Campagnolo or one button press with new fangled electronic shifting ), flipping the quick release, and removing it while holding the derailleur out of the way.
