I agree, but as an example if I am on 40m at some ridiculous hour I would be
working CW at the low end and SSB between 7140 and 7197 kHz, which I believe
could result in a fair number of "clicks" during the night when using an all
driven array with the type of ATU you have in mind. I guess that what I am
saying is 'don't forget the sleeping neighbours' :-)

... but to be fair, that's only when you press "TUNE" for the first time
on a new antenna, right? After that, most modern ATUs will remember the
settings for different bands, or different parts of bands, and when you
QSY significantly it's usually just one "click" to get back to the
remembered settings?
