I can edge glue boards without all that and they are plenty strong . A little more effort to align them I suppose, but otherwise I don't see the point. If I did a dowel jig is trivial to make.
I absolutely agree, usually I go for the ganged up edge planing to get that complementary mating edge. Also if I were more than a hobby shop and doing things for money on a time budget, I'd probably think about buying some of that oh so expensive Festool stuff.
