OK, I don't understand this objection at all. Staff styles are the
EASIEST way to make switches of this type, so I don't get why you think
it is so inconvenient. You get the clef, key sig, staff name, and sounds
all in one shot, once you have set it up. I even use staff styles to
change from soprano sax to clarinet, that have the same everything, just
so that I can get the abbreviated staff name to show up properly without
screwing around with it. Assign the staff style to a metatool, and you
have one-click instrument switching.

Staff styles are a nightmare when you have several of them at work at
once. I'll sometimes have one affecting the notehead font, another
removing barlines, and so on, all overlapping in different places.
Keeping track of which are applied to which parts of the score is awful
- and this again is a result of a poor and inconsistent UI.
