I agree: separate allen keys work a lot better. Trying to adjust the brake centration with a multitool is for the birds: the stubby little allen key can't reach the nut. If nothing else, put 2 or 3 of the most important allen keys in your kit. The weight is negligible and the payoff in actually being able to use the tool is high.
In fact, given the weight of multi-tool frame, I think you could actually have less weight with a chain tool and loose keys. Or close, anyway.
