IF, big if, you can get a Shimano cup 'n' cone hub adjusted perfectly, they're beautiful, but as you say, it's a PITA and takes lots of skill/knowledge to get it - _I've got an old, perfectly adjusted 26er XTR rim brake wheel and it's so beautiful and smooth, pity it's rim brake or I'd strip it out the 26" rim and build it into a nice 29er._  Thing is, most won't notice the difference between that and some sealed cartridge bearings that are easy to replace and as you said, won't mean you need a new hub shell if you forget to do the minimum yearly service they require.
