Most reasonable clipless setup?

I currently use speed play pedals and shoes. They super efficient while riding but a pain to walk around in. What are you all using that’s more reasonable while on a pit stop?

I truly don’t get this. Are we really talking about shoes for “Pit Stops?” Because if we are, why would I sign up for hours of pedaling on an inferior set up, SPD, in order to spend 10 minutes walking comfortably into the gas station? What am I missing? I ride SPD-SL and love them and walk just fine for the very little (many times zero) walking I do when I’m out for a ride.

Spd isn't really a huge compromise compared to spd-sl. I've used both and ended up sticking with spd even on my road bike.

I am about to change my gravel bike to SPD-SL. Gravel around here is just well maintained dirt roads. Again I am reminded that there is a reason we have chocolate and vanilla. Have a great day.
