Of course, doing this individually for every single staff in an

altogether.
Your tuchus must have a low pain threshold. I never use the Setup
Wizard, and am frankly surprised that any professional would do
otherwise. Maybe I'm just a control freak.
Using the Setup Wizard saves an enormous amount of time when it comes
to configuring your score for GPO playback.
Lots of "professionals," including Johannes, use it. The score it
builds is based on your own customized default file. Obviously, it
will still require some additional tweaking, but it's considerably
faster than adding staves manually.
Setting up the transpositions, chromatic or not, for a 40-staff
orchestral work should take about 5 minutes, tops.
That's my point! In Sibelius, this operation takes 5 seconds, tops.
If you've ever had a client go back and forth about whether he wanted
his piece to use a key signature or not, you'll understand why this
needs to be a one-click operation.
