As long as what you do works for you, that's great.
Had to laugh about wannabe mechanics and torque-wrenches. I'd have said exactly the opposite, when it comes to being absolutely precise, as would most Formula One pit crews.
On the Stahlbus items you can easily get a socket - which I prefer to a wrench - onto both parts, body & nipple. I'd definitely use a torque-wrench to install the body into the caliper but wouldn't bother for the nipples.
Personally, I enjoy precision, unlike the people at the local tire shop who routinely wildly over-tighten wheel bolts
I think more of an issue is that too many people are too cheap to buy a decent set of torque wrenches, and/or understand how and when to use them. No surprise, many understand how to use a helicoil.
Not that long ago, an STL file was sent up to the ISS so the astronauts could 3D print a special wrench to tighten a bolt to 2NM - the wrench is available on Thingiverse for the curious.
Spent a little time with the Martini Offshore powerboat team. EVERYTHING was tightened extremely carefully. I'd never seen such a wide range, and quantity, of ultra-high quality torque-wrenches.
My '74 Norton is different - I could hammer things into place and it would be fine.
