I live in Toronto. The weather does change in big uniform blocks. If the hubs, rotors and cassette were identical (and used to a similar amount) then there should be zero faff swapping.
“Not many bikes feel great on two completely different tyres” is an interesting statement. If the bike is being ridden on different surfaces…why would that not be the case?

I'm just preparing you for possible disappointment. Maybe your particular use case is one where "Two wheelsets, one bike" is a success 😊

I used two pairs of wheels on my Secan. A gravel set with 45mm resolutes for most riding and a road set with 32mm smooth tread for the occasional road ride. Both on Pro4 hubs. Works great! Still using the same set up on my current bike.

Weather doesn't happen in two big uniform blocks. More often than not, you have to change wheels because the ones you had on the last ride are wrong for this ride. That gets old fast, especially if you haven't got gears and brakes matched on the two wheelsets to a very high precision. Not many bikes feel great on two completely different tyres, and you really notice that when everything else is identical.
