I have a qr skewer on my polo bike (front wheel, being fixed/free I can't have a qr on back), replaced the lever with an Allen key skewer I had lying around, but played for long enough with an actual lever, as long as you get it flush and in line with your forks I don't think there's a problem with qr levers. Some people tape them to the forks just to be on the safe side.
Defo don't think it's worth building a new wheel just to get rid of it!
You think sl cleats are already unwalkable? Imagine them with an extra cm of metal at the bottom, its like a reverse high heel... If you are thinking for polo, I wouldn't bother. Even those heavy crappy muddy fox (circa £20) mtb shoes from sports direct would be better.
Or shop around you'll probably be able to fine some alright mtb shoes for around £35 (decathlon?)... Much better use of money than the new wheel.
Nice Chobham joke btw! :)
