I do most of my own wrenching, but truing is one thing I do not enjoy.

It even stress relieves with the rollers.

Truing is only a small piece of a wheel build.
...and FWIW for the price of that machine you could buy a lifetime of great wheels and always have them built by the best hand builders around....and buy a lot of new bikes with the left over money.

When you take rider weight into account when choosing rims (shallow 400g rims are not OK even on the front for 200 pound riders) you may never true a wheel until the rim needs replacing due to worn out brake tracks even when you're not very dainty running over pot holes.
