Importance of accessing TC without opening a slide.
I have seen a few comments on TC forums and other RV forums regarding the benefit of entering without having to open a slide. I was just wondering what the thought process is.

You're never trapped. There is an escape window or hatch to get out of the cabover. If you have proper isolation from the truck battery, you then just need to connect jumper cables between the TC and truck battery to operate the slide.
Yeah I'm not really worried about that for the reasons you mention. The (very minor)issue for us is that while we can close the slides from the bed using the remote, the reactivation switch is just inside the door and is almost impossible to get to from the inside with the slides in.
Lesson learned. The next TC, if we ever get another one, will allow us to move to the door and bathroom with the slides in. A tight squeeze is preferable to climbing over the table and then doing a hand stand to get to the activation switch. I've only done that once and I'll do it again if I'm in another windy snow storm.
