As someone that often records dual system albeit for "professional  
video" I don't agree with your statement at all.
Clapper sticks have worked for decades , you don't need tc to sync  
sound, it just helps the workflow and actually the video "locks" to  
the audios' timecode on set. ( sound provides tc)
Re: long record times, how long is long? 10 mins or one hour? you can  
always pull up the audio if there are any cuts, also very few people  
can spot a one frame drift (unless you're an editor or audio post  
person)
I think most people don't go double system for nature recording  
because they think it's too hard, it's not, you just need to invest  
some time in finding out how to make it easy for yourself.
google is your friend!
