When I had 2 wheelsets for my Fargo I had a shop very carefully shim the rotors so that I could switch without continual pad readjustment to avoid rubbing; that worked pretty well, even with all the dust here which IME makes disk brakes squeal or at least mutter. I did not have to deal with a great deal of wet weather riding, here in the desert. Road BB7s set up with pretty wide pad spacing, but proper setup allowed this with good lever travel and feel. (Install cables with actuation arms at about 30* through their travel; and don’t use high MA brake levers — tho’ I got road BB7s to work fine with old high MA Shimano 600 EX levers.)
OTOH, on the Matthews I swapped the BB7s for TR Hy/Rd hybrids that “automatically” adjust pads for slight difference in rotor position. I’ll switch wheels and within a few hundred feet with a bit of braking the pads are fully clear of the rotors again. I would guess that the same applies for full hydro disks.
