The fiddliness of bleeding a hydraulic brake line is exactly why I stick with cable actuated disk brakes on my bike hah. And even if the front wheel gets knocked out of the brake a bit it's trivial to go home, put it on the stand, and move the wheel around.
Hydraulic brakes are definitely fun but my bike is a compromise between low effort and utility. I'm running a 2x right now and running a barend shifter up front because my height and bike geometry means I often knock the front derailleur cable out of place. I should probably just switch to a 1x at this point.
