I appreciate that I'm much less likely to round off a torx nipple, but when the 3-4 riders need wheels trued after the same ride it'd be a lot easier without taking 3-4 tyres off.
Also, those hex nipples only seem to come in in aluminium. Not keen on getting more seized nipple problems.

They still have normal square flats for truing with the tyre in place, the Torx end is just nicer for initial building.

Yeah, I think my brass hex nipples are actually Sapim. They work happily with DT spokes.

From the drawing, it seem like the overall length would be 15mm but the start of the thread is in the same place as a common 12mm nipple. That's the case with the Squorx nipples in my DT R24 factory built wheels, I assume they use the same nips in the factory that they sell as parts.
