IMO cottered cranks get a bad rap. They aren't terrible to service and in general they have a nice narrow tread. Yes they are a little more work than a tapered Crankset to remove, but its hardly that much worse. The guts inside the cup & cone BB are all the same whether its cottered or cotterless, so there is no advantage to be had in that respect from changing to cotterless.
