Basically, I would agree, but there are certainly scenarios where the classic controls and dials can be advantageous, especially when working with a tripod.
For tripod work, I still prefer the workflow of my high-quality manual focus lenses.
However, this is less due to the aperture ring than to the precision, smoothness and directness of focusing offered by very high-quality MF lenses.
It is simply a pleasure to use such lenses, in terms of feel, robustness and focusing.
Things like a DoF scale are also nice for tripod work.
