I have been using bikes with QRs since they were on the market, and I have been riding my QR/disc Fuji since 2017.

I have never lost a wheel or had wobble due to improperly adjusted qr skewers, because ... well they are simpler than tying shoes. something I learned to do while I was on training wheels (and which no one does any more in this Velcro Age ... maybe there is a correlation?) I have had to carefully reinstall the wheels on my Fuji every time I have removed them. Sometimes they fall right back into place, sometimes they are off by half a millimeter ... but that is enough to cause brake drag.
