I rinko my CX and folding MTB all the time. No need to remove brakes when doing that, the wheels comes off, seat post goes down and it all gets shoved in the bag. I usually manage it with just the front wheel coming off.
I have Spyres on the CX bike and hydraulics up front on the folder, never had any problems with them. I imagine coupled bikes aren't that hard to deal with when running hydros either, given how easy they are to install and adjust.
