Indeed that could be a faster approach. However out-of-the-box booleans are slow to the workflow in Blender. It’s a little better with 2.8 but still having to add a modifier to get the boolean operation involved is slow in general. There’s a lot of addons out there that make booleans a one-click solution so if you’re using one of those, yes I’d say that could be faster.
Even if we’re talking about shaving seconds off the workflow, I like that you’re thinking about different ways. There’s always many ways to skin a cat in 3D/Blender and it’s best for each artist to figure out what’s best for them and their workflow 👍
