The question is pretty specific - it seems nobody ever made anything sleeker than Shimano's 80s toeclip pedals, and if I want something like that in carbon, I have to make it myself, right?

Not a big deal to me; no harder than unclipping and clipping in. At the lights, I just trackstand.

Getting my foot out in an emergency isn't slow, because I generally don't have the straps very tight. In fact, without the clips and straps, I just don't feel safe; no foot retention seems sketchy to me.
