I'm not sure, it seems to me that the difficulty in learning the inverted bike is that the 'experiment' has a very very high threshold. If you deviate you fall, no time for data acquisition. With training wheels you can sense that moment where you fail and start to fall but without stopping.
Yes, you'll be able to spend more time on the bike. The important part of the space of variables is probably not where the training wheels put you.
To bring some (anec-)data into the discussion: I've learned unicycling and seen people learn it. The learners who jump right into it and try again and again to just ride seem to be learning faster than the learner's sliding along walls and holding helpers' hands.

Probably longer. Might be less frustrating for some people, though.
